Several views from the Waalbrug, an arch bridge over the river Waal, in Nijmegen.
It was opened on 16 June 1936. The full length of the Waalbrug is 604 metres, the middle of the arch being about 65 metres high. The arch itself is 244.1 metres long and was the longest arch in Europe at the time of construction.

ReplyDeleteSo everyone can have a complete idea of it ;)
DeleteActually, I haven't seen it in person. I'd like to!
I have seen this bridge. I think I'd be more impressed seeing it now (I have a much greater appreciation for bridges and their engineering). It is neat to have so many views of the same bridge.
ReplyDeleteI always love an arch reflections and there seems to be so much going on around the bridge in the other cards.
ReplyDeleteI like the first one best, the peek of the bridge and the lovely blue and silhouettes.
