This is one of the bridges across the Main River in Frankfurt, Germany. Captured this as I passed thru there in September 2015.

It seems there’s something romantic about attaching a lock to the railings of a bridge as a symbol of one’s love for his/her partner. This romantic gesture is popping up all over the place, including here, on the pedestrian portion of a rail bridge near the main train station in Cologne, Germany. (Snapped this while passing through town in 2015.)
But as with everything, it can be overdone: In Paris, city officials had to remove locks from its bridges in the last couple of years because they were adding too much weight to the structures, to the point of causing a railing to collapse. And frankly, it doesn’t look too pretty after a while …

Free public wifi along with a bunch of artful, colourful chairs like this one … it’s as if this neighbourhood space in Prague is asking for you to hang out.

Staring up at this building on Oxford Street in London back in September, I found the window design particularly pleasing for some reason.

This fella looks as if he could be a character come alive from the NFB animated video of the Canadian folk song The Log Driver’s Waltz, but he’s really quite far from turn-of-the-20th-century Canada. This specimen is overlooking a canal by Kampa Island in Prague.

Happened to come across this very colourful pillar while wandering down a quiet street in London’s Soho neighbourhood back in September. There appeared to be no obvious reason for the decoration … but then again, who really needs one?
