Amazing bridges

Bridges are fascinating. In Holland we have all kinds of bridges. Beautiful small old bridges over canals…. When the sun gets low in the evening the light might even come under a bridge.

The bridges of Paris are famous… Like the Pont Neuf (nothing new there, it is the oldest bridge of Paris – 1578-1604). 

And the elaborate Pont Alexandre III (Art Nouveau style – build for the World Exhibition in 1900).

Now the smaller bridges are  easy to catch on camera, but larger bridges are more difficult. The famous Charles Bridge of Prague took two shots…. 

The same with the bridge in Rotterdam.

Look at the little elegant Tango dancing sister in Buenos Aires… The Puente de la Mujer.

For taking a picture of an extremely large bride I need luck. In Turkey I tried to take a picture of the famous bridge over the Bosporus. On the boat trip it was raining. When driving over, there was a truck in front of us…..

In most cases it is forbidden to walk on large bridges. You cannot park a car near enough anyway. I remember trying to take a picture sitting in the back of a car while driving over one of the large bridges in Denmark years ago. When I saw the pictures I wondered about the lines… I hadn’t realized there was the heating in the rear window.

Flying over the Bridges in Denmark in freezing weather was a great opportunity.

Finally a portrait of two glorious bridges in full length.

This is the bridge in Denmark between the islands of Fünen and Sealand....

And this is the masterpiece between Denmark and Sweden over the Öresund. 

 Yes I was very lucky!
