Love padlocks are a custom by which sweethearts affix padlocks to a fence or similar public fixture to symbolise their love, first starting at the bridge Ponte Milvio in Rome. It is inspired by an fictional event in the book I Want You by Italian author Federico Moccia, which later made it into the film-adapation Ho voglia di te.
I took this picture In Florence where love padlocks have been affixed to the railing around and near the statue of Benvenuto Cellini located at the centre of the Ponte Vecchio. In Bologna on the Via Malcontenti.

While watching the final day of the 4 days marches in Nijmegen I ran into this blues band and took a picture of the Fender ‘Stevie Ray Vaughn’ signature guitar.

’Beugelen’ is one of the oldest ball sports in the Netherlands (Limburg and Noord Brabant). This stick is used to move the balls.
