In many cities around the world, the phenomenon of a love wall or equivalent is known. Couples in love can hang a padlock (usually provided with their initials) as a sign of their 'eternal' love there. Often, the padlocks are hung on a railing of a bridge too. A nice and cozy sight all those padlocks, but in some cities it's forbidden and such actions are even fined by the government. In Antwerp, the opposite is the case. There, a special facility has been created on the Tavernierkaai (Tavernier Quay) which, as this photograph shows, is used a lot.
