This bridge over the Nieuwe Herengracht along the Amstel river is specially lightend up for the tourists in these dark days. ( Also at summertime when the tourist peak is at its highest .) But there are days when all is back to normal and you don't have the lights.
One for sunday bridges here.
looks lovely
BeantwoordenVerwijderena wonderful night capture of my favourite subjects(bridges)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you for showing us beautiful Amsterdam views every day. I really enjoyed them!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAnd thank you for your comments to my posts, sc.
Another fine lighting example. I love when the city's normal, essential structures are lit like this one.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like the small archway near the water also. Nice reflection from it.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNow this brings back some memories from my years in Holland. Nice shot!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis bridge is spectacular with the night lighting. :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderen«Louis» thanks you for linking it to his Sunday Bridges meme!
Your memory is very good! The green bridge you remember is very similar to today's bridge - and they are both on (or, in the case of this one) adjacent to U.S. Highway 101. The bridge you are remembering is just south of Hopland, 145 miles/233 km south of Rio Dell where this bridge is located. Both are green and are of very similar construction. :-)
Such a beautifully lit bridge. It has great lines and the lights just sets them off.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt looks very festive.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGreat shot! I was there one year ago .... very nice in Amsterdam before Christmas with all the lights!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGroetjes Irene
I think I remember this scene, even though we've been to Amsterdam only two or three times.The draw bridge is unusual.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenPretty! I like the lights against the blue sky!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNice bridge. Until now I thought that the Amstel is only beer :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIsn't it amazing how attractive lighting on a bridge is? A wonderful capture of an evening scene!
