Tunnel vision
Nelson Mandela Bridge
by Rob Oo

Nelson Mandela Bridge, Zoetermeer, The Netherlands. Architect: Johan Bak (1992) I used to be here many times because of work, and really hated the place: cold, ugly and unattractive, waiting for a train that was always late. Not having been there for years, in gorgeous weather, I found a different atmosphere.

Blue and yellow are the colours of the city of Zoetermeer. We used to call it Sweet Lake City.
