The Erasmus bridge in Rotterdam is a magnificent example of bridge architecture. Finally we were there on a beautiful day. A blue sky with white clouds.
The best view you get from the “Kop van Zuid” (a good place to have a coffee or something else). The complete bridge with the sun shining on it. On a dark day the scenery is much more gray.
All sorts of traffic go over the bridge. Pedestrians, bicycles, motorbikes, cars, busses, trams…..
The train used to have its own bridge “De Hef”. It has been memorized in a movie "De Brug" by the famous movie maker Joris Ivens in 1928. Now there is a tunnel for trains underneath the river. (sorry for the balustrade of the bridge in this picture, but it was impossible to cross the street.)
The other side..... as behind a curtain.
The structure is very elegant.
But still there are some people who think it is just a fancy bicycle stand.....
