Very impressive viewpoint. It gives a great feeling of dimension.
A very effective title too!

Well done.

Very beautiful and elegant. I really like the blues in this photo. It gives it a very large feel to it. But isn't this the main suspension bridge of the Great Belt Link connecting Zealand and Funen in Denmark? I really like how the bridge has such long lines and seems to rise out of the water. Nicely done.

Dear Morton, this bridge really looks looooong :) Of course I wonder from what position you took the photo. Good perspective and composition. I made a little experimental workshop, but like the photo as is. Yours, Jan

Great picture. It looks like something out of a movie where there are no people or cars, just the bridge. It feels like the bridge comes from nowhere and leads to nowhere.

Hello,
It is a good view of this long bridge. The angle give it more power and make it very impressive.
Well done Morten.
