I've been doing more research in my spare time and have found out something I find interesting.
Recently, Ljubljana has added a new bridge to it's cityscape. It is a footbridge that crosses the river at the central market between the Triple Bridge and the Dragon Bridge.
It's called the Butcher's Bridge which in Slovenian is "Mesarski Most". It was proposed to be built back in the 1930s but had the plug pulled on it because of the invading Nazis. The bridge finally underwent construction quite recently after they discussed whether to modernize the plans or to stick to the original by architect Joze Plecnik. It was opened in July 2010 with a few sculptures from Greek and Biblical mythology.
What's more interesting about the bridge, I found, was the occurrence of love padlocks appearing on the steel wiring of the bridge after it opened.
The bottom padlock reads "Lili, ti si moje sonce! Metod" which translated goes along the lines of:"Lili, you are my sunshine! Metod"
The padlocks are to symbolise eternal love between the two and have started to decorate the bridge. I think it's the perfect touch to the bridge and I want to make sure I have pictures taken of these whilst I'm there.
