♥ of L♥VE, a photo from Colorado, West

Photographer's Note

The wedding was in Loveland, so our first stop was Loveland. We went to the Visitor Center to get an idea of things to do around the town. We found this "L♥VE" statue in the back of which newlyweds were encouraged to hang their locks.

Mariano Medina built the first settlement in the Loveland area, Fort Namaqua, in 1858. It was a trading post and stage station. Prior to that time it was a hub for French fur trappers dating back to the late 1700s.

The city of Loveland was officially founded in 1877 along the newly constructed line of the Colorado Central Railroad, near its crossing of the Big Thompson River. It was named in honor of William A.H. Loveland, the president of the Colorado Central Railroad.

Gunaydin Murat,
Nice close up picture of the padlocks upon the love sign we see on the WS's.
I see one dial lock similar to one I have since 1974...
Have a nice sunday,
Ike

Hi Murat,
This is so colorful and interesting that I had to jump straight to it.
The idea is brilliant following the padlocks on some bridges in Europe.
I am not even sure where it started first.
Here I was actually surprised to here the name came from a person. I thought it was a theme park, judging by the work of art.
Very well presented,
M

Hello Murat,

I was interested to know how this place had gained its name but your notes explained that perfectly.

The whole 'LOVE' sign was an interesting feature but your main post, using the the heart-shaped 'O' as a natural frame is the most creative and eye-catching.

I just wonder if anyone comes back to remove their lock if the love relationship fails!!

Have a lovely Sunday,
Bev :-)

Witaj Murat!
A very nice set of photos, pictures make impression.
I like that heart.
Good frames and colors.
Well done.
Have a nice sunday.

Hello Murat,
Love seems to have been a bit commercialized here, but the red letters provide very eye-catching photos. It's probably a better idea to hang the padlocks here than on a fragile bridge that may get so overloaded that it could collapse.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Murat, Is Loveland a special place for weddings, what would the name suggest? I do not like the locks hanging on the bridges, but here in this special place, it looks very appealing. Eyecatching composition.

Best regards MAlgo

Hi Murat,very rich composition, not a new idea to leave locks in a place, but this is very very rich,3 perfect pics well done as usual. Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Hello Murat,
This is of course a perfect place to hang all those padlocks, which are usually found on bridges. You used the large red heart really well, which frames the view on the other side nicely.

Hello Murat.
Curious name of this city, "lands of love", of course it could not have a more appropriate monument to the name than this heart and consequently the place where to put the padlocks of love.
Good management of lighting and sharpness.
I wish you a pleasant week.
Very best regards.
Luis.

murat

the name is interesting, maybe so sweet for portuguese usage. hahaha. I liked the WS more than the main post, but on it we can see the padlocks in evidence.

take care

Hello Murat,
The monument is a beautiful and colourful tribute to love.
The heart shape, the many small hearts in the inside of the structure and the many padlocks form a beautiful whole.
Best regards, Paul
