| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
| This is just a close up on a few of the locks chained to the railings on the via del amore in Cinqueterre. I find the blue sea a little symbolic as we think of how many lovers meet at the sea for a passionate reunion, or some even taking their lives on the cliffs due to a tragic love story ending. |

Hi Latifah,
What a beautiful sentiment that has withstood the years as is evident by the rust...I like to think more of a passionate reunion than a tragic ending to true love...Italia has many references to star crossed lovers who meet only to be separated by fate or tragedy...What a very special place to rendezvous and declare one's eternal love or escape for a passionate tryst...I've heard of the extreme beauty of the trails at Cinque Terra but this is the first I've seen(through your photography)of this very special spot...The locks show such a symbolic evidence of promised love, each with a different and mysterious story...The romanticist in me allows my imagination to envision the circumstances of each lock, eg., A cold stormy night when lovers part, promising to return; a cool summer evening filled with romance as a full Moon rises over the Med; a warm spring day with the sweet smell of flowers in the air as hopes and dreams are shared; a final kiss good bye on a teary Autumn eve...Thank you for sharing the sentiment and photo :-)
Ciao, Jimmy

Ciao Latifah,
"Love forever chained" sound a bit terrifying...
The lockers and the railing looking like the bars of a cage are not really suggesting feelings of love...
So your image is funny, I don't know your feelings about this image ;-)
I try to see the color of the sea, that's much better.

Hi Latifah,
Nice idea. Love will never escape (except if you have the key).
They do the same in China:
