Love lock at lake

HOW do you feel about love locks?

There's a lock on the new bridge spanning the lake at Lough Lannagh, Castlebar. And we wonder, could it be the first of many?

The tiny, inscribed padlocks are extremely popular in cities across the world, especially Paris.

One bridge across the Seine was literally sagging under such a weight of locks that the city fathers had to remove them.

The locks are put in place by romance struck couples as a symbol of their everlasting love.

The love lock at Lough Lannagh (pictured) has ‘M+M’ on the front and a date, March 31, 2015, on the rear.

There’s plenty of place for more on the Lannagh structure for all you romantics out there.
