This Is What Five Years Worth Of Paris' Famous "Love Locks" Looks Like
Five years, a million locks, and 45 tonnes of love.
The city of Paris officially killed love forever on Monday when it took off the hundred of thousands of "love locks" on the Pont des Arts.

Officials had warned that their sheer weight had become a problem. The locks were thought to have added some 45 tonnes of extra weight to the bridge, which was shut temporarily in June 2014 after part of a railing collapsed.
Luckily, Google Street View captured what those Parisian bridges looked like in 2008 and 2009, back when the "love locks" trend had just started.
