Kinderdijk

This beautiful bridge that crosses the Waal river, opened to traffic in November 2013. The design was chosen so that it was similar to the existing bridge of 1936, which had become too small to handle all the traffic, and lies East of the current bridge. Near the bridge is a commemoration site for the US Army 504th Infantry Regiment of the 82d Airborne Brigade. During the crossing in 1944, 48 men lost their lives. This is commemorated by 48 pairs of lamp posts on the bridge. Every evening these lights go on pair by pair symbolising the slow crossing of the river during the liberation.(source Wikipedia)

I went to the Oversteek Bridge to photograph it during high water and blue hour, but before that happened there was quite a beautiful sunset. You can see the blue hour version here: www.flickr.com/photos/adelheids-pictures/50949558931 [#11 on explore 3/3/21]

I visited and photographed this bridge in 2016 and I was quite happy with the result. However, when I recently saw images of that same bridge taken with high water, I realised I had to try again. The first time I was a lonely photographer, but now obviously many had the same idea and we stood in a group of some 10-12 photographers. One of them was Bram de Jong who lives in the same town as I do, but had sofar never met. It was nice to finally meet him in person.
