Locked love

At this fence of a wedding hotel in a small town near Takamatsu, Kanagawa Pref., young couples put a lock to whish for the eternity of their relationship. There are quite a number of them. It almost looks like the Ema (pictoral offerings) in Japanese shrines (as can be seen on the right image below).



This is the end of my Japan 2003 gallery.

This is by far the coolest shot I've seen today. Makes me want to go out, buy a lock and put it on the fence too! What a great testimony to hope. Thank you for sharing - V
