Love Locks

Over the years it has become a focal point for a interesting phenomenon. Lovers would leave their locks on the bridge in a symbolic romantic gesture.

Any traditional padlock on the bridge would have reacted to oxygen and eventually rusted or broken even if it took many decades.

Anything that is....

Except gold!

Gold is inert and an element that never rusts or tarnishes. Said another way, gold is immortal to time:

As such, this design was inspired directly from the bridge:

I think it’s a cool part of history for such a romantic city even though it ended it a not so nice way with the bridge being basically destoyed.
