Pictures of Ljubljana....

 We thought you might like to see what we see as we walk around Ljubljana. So, here's a selection of our photographic efforts.

One of the dragons on Dragon Bridge

A statue on the newly built (2010) Butcher's Bridge

 Actually there are three statues on this bridge, one of Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden of Eden, one of Prometheus and this one - we don't know who he/she is or what is going on but the raised arm suggests a greeting to those who are following our blog - so, feel greeted!

Padlocks signifying eternal love on the railings of Butcher's bridge

We are told it did not take long after this bridge was built for lovers to place a padlock on one of the wire cables that make up the railings on both sides of the bridge and throw the key into the river below - declaring their love for each other. Some locks are  large, some are small but we did not see any "combination" locks which might then be retrieved if the eternal love turned out to be more temporal than was thought.... We want to buy a lock to add to the bridge, but I refer you to my previous post about shopping in Slavic countries.
