The Conzett Bridge crosses the Coupure canal in the city of Bruges. The bridge -only allowed for pedestrians and cyclists- was designed by Swiss architect Jurg Conzett, in the year 2002 when Bruges was European Capital of Culture. The bridge floor is connected to 2 huge steel pipes than can rotate so the floor will be lifted and boats can pass.
Photo taken in November last year.
I like your perspective of this bridge. I use to walk over a pedestrian bridge everyday on the way to work when I lived in the states. I always enjoyed it and they offer a nice view too.
Nice view and composition, Marleen !
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSuper perspective here Marleen. I have heard that Bruges is a fascinating city to visit.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh, I like this bridge and your photo. I'm thinking that there must be full-time workers there to lift the bridge for the boats, right?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks Lowell. I don't think the lifting is done manually though.
Verwijderendie herkende ik meteen Marleen
BeantwoordenVerwijdereneigenlijk een eenvoudig maar origineel concept...
jammer dat het ophaalmechanisme het soms laat afweten
prettige dag
Mooie schaduwfoto.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt would be nice to see how the bridge will rise and boats passing under.
Smart bridge design too....
