lovers locks
Originally uploaded by elwin.
In the 'yellow mountains' in China it has become a custom for couples to interlock two padlocks, lock them to the chain rail and throw the keys down the mountain. This symbolizes that they will be joined together forever. If you see more than one padlock locked together this could be a family. Some locks have the couples name and date engraved on them.
 
We moved to Hong Kong in July '05. Much of this blog is being populated from our camera phones (treo650's) we hope that this helps us keep in touch with our friends who are now so far away!
