Grunwaldzki Bridge in Wroclaw, a photo from Dolnoslaskie, West

Photographer's Note

Grunwaldzki Bridge, located in Wrocław, Poland, is a suspension bridge over the Oder River, built over the years 1908-1910. Initially the bridge was called the Imperial (Kaiserbrücke), then the bridge of Freedom (Freiheitsbrücke). Architectural designer of the bridge was a city councilor Richard Plüddemann. The bridge opened on 10 October 1910 in the presence of Emperor Wilhelm II.

It is the one of the longest bridges of its kind in Poland being 112.5 meters long, 18 meters wide and weighing 2.3 thousand tons. It was constructed of Silesian granite.

The bridge was damaged during the World War II but by September 1947 it had been repaired and was opened again. Through the bridge goes the national highway No. 8 and tram lines.

Hello Barbara,
A singular point perspective, which buscastes a good contrast to the building fund.
Very good details and colors, but the sky has some noise.
Best Regards,
Charo

Bonjour Barbara,
j'aime beaucoup ce pont au premier plan, mais je suis moins fan de l'architecture un peu kitch à l'arrière plan.
Le POV en légère contre plongée donne de l'llure à la pilasse du pont.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

Bonjour Barbara,
Ce pont suspendu fait un beau contraste avec les immeubles qu'on aperçoit en fond. La couleur bleue claque de belle manière sur l'acier qu'elle protège.
Amicalement
