Russian Wedding Tradition of placing a love lock usually on a bridge. They like to hang little or not so little padlocks on bridges as a symbol of their future long and stable married life. The couples seem to never stop attaching locks with their names on to the railing of Luzkov bridge. This upset the former mayor who had teh locks cut off and metal trees placed on the bridge so the locks could be placed on the trees. Still, these trees are not as popular as the railing, so two enthusiastic volunteers made up to do things right and remove everything that was sticking out from the bridge railings that had romantic inscriptions. The guys dressed as utility workers waited for wedding processions appear on the bridge and began to cut off the locks in front of shocked brides. This image based artwork was made from a photo I took before the tough guys started cutting off the locks.
