The city took its name from a set of locks built to improve navigation past the Cascades Rapids of the Columbia River. The U.S. federal government approved the plan for the locks in 1875, construction began in 1878, and the locks were completed on November 5, 1896. The locks were subsequently submerged in 1938, replaced by Bonneville Lock and Dam. Cascade Locks is just upstream from the Bridge of the Gods, a toll bridge that spans the Columbia River.
The “love locks” at Seoul’s N Tower began appearing around 2006–2007, when visitors and couples started leaving small padlocks as symbols of lasting affection. Over time, the practice evolved into a cultural phenomenon—amplified by Korean media and the tower’s growing popularity as a major city landmark—gradually transforming the railings of Namsan Mountain into a vibrant mosaic of promises. Today, this tradition continues to thrive, making the tower one of Seoul’s most emblematic and romantically charged destinations.

At the Namsan Tower, one can see the many padlocks of love by couples and well wishers. Somehow it is a surprise that thus far the bars supporting these locks somehow are still standing well despite the weight of so many padlocks.

The custom of placing "love locks" on fences seems to have originated in Europe. The custom is thought to be inspired by Federico Moccia’s Italian novel, “I Want You.” In the book, a couple places a bicycle lock around a lamppost and then casts the key into the River Tiber as a gesture of their love.

Took a different route for my lunch hour walk today and decided to visit this bridge, it's been a while since I walked through here and I was curious about how many more locks had been added in the last couple years.
Well, more have been added, and I think some have been removed. But that's love for you; sometimes it's kind of fickle.
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.
