The piece of history... by cherrymartina

The piece of history...

Can you find a piece of history here?
This is a New Old bridge, at least we call it like that...
During a war in Croatia at the beginning of 90s this (old) beautiful red bridge was blown up to pieces. It must have been some explosion... If you look carefully you will see a square piece of metal on the left side of lighthouse. This piece was left here on purpose, as an artifact. it flew more then 200 meters away from the bridge. There were other pieces of bridge laying around that were removed, and some are still submerged since this canal is very deep...

As soon as it was possible another bridge was build on the other side of canal, as part of a highway, and later, a New Old bridge grew back up... Now we have two bridges, which is good since there is very frequent traffic, and highway bridge gets closed during strong winds...

I am showing you different POV in my other album
I can remember when this happened, my eldest son went there on holiday a few months before

I love this bridge. I like the arch, the lines and then the reflections of it in the water.
