Riverbank Love Knot 3, Adelaide, Australia

Great as a wallpaper photo for your computer or phone

The Riverbank Love Knot is a stainless steel public art installation in Adelaide, Australia, located in Park 12 near the University Footbridge, designed by Mulloway Studio and unveiled on Valentine's Day 2018 to provide a dedicated spot for couples to attach "love locks" and symbolize enduring love, offering an alternative to placing them on the nearby footbridge. The intertwined knot design represents unbreakable binding and eternal fidelity.

@douglaswelch A close-up photograph shows a metal structure heavily adorned with numerous padlocks of varying sizes, colors, and materials. The locks are attached to a curved, dark-colored metal bar, creating a dense accumulation. Many of the locks feature stickers or engravings on their surfaces, with visible text on some. The background is a blurry mix of green foliage and natural light, suggesting an outdoor setting. The composition emphasizes the sheer number of locks and the visual texture they create.

Some visible text on the locks includes: "Tony & Sheena," "Bor – Lika," and “Alla May & Nikita Susina 2023.”
