Photographer’s Note
Pont Albert 1er (or Pont Du Roi Albert) links the Districts of Boverie Longdoz and the Boulevard d'Avroy in Liege.
The first bridge was completed in 1866. It was then called Bridge of Commerce, and a right of passage of three cents was imposed for anyone who wanted to cross. In 1903, the city of Liege bought this toll, and in 1905, as part of the World Expo, a new bridge was built to meet the growing traffic.
In 1940, the bridge was sabotaged to slow the German advance. It was therefore replaced by a provisional bridge. The new bridge, now called Albert Ier in tribute to the king knight was not rebuilt until 1957.
Girder bridge of 170 meters long

Great image.
The long exposure has given some nice effects like the light trails and vivid blue of the bridge.
Nice work.
Regards
Graham

what a great capture of the wonderful illuminated bridge! :-)
sharpness and details are very good as well as the exposure and lighting.
the blue on the bridge and its reflection on the water is really cool.
superb job & best wishes, thor.

I really like pictures taken in the evenings and this one is excellent. Wonderful vivid, almost fluorescent blue and contrast with orange from lamps. And last but not least, the sky. It makes the picture complete. Congratulations, I will have to go there one day.

Hello Yves,

Bonjour Yves,
Magnifique gestion des couleurs et des lumières nocturnes sur cette photo. J'aime beaucoup le contraste avec ce joli ciel crépusculaire. Belle utilisation du trépied et c'est vrai que ce pont bleuté est très photogénique. Beau coup d'oeil et merci pour la note intéressante.
Avec toutes mes amitiés et un très bon dimanche,
Jean-Charles

Re,
Une tres belle realisation la aussi. Peut etre un poil dense. Je pense qu une exposition un peu plus longue aurait debouché un peu plus les ombres sans trop perturber le rendu du pont.
La aussi le ciel est bien rendu et l arche bleue donne l originalité a la photo.
Yves.
