Bridge of the 19th August 1944

A former railway bridge over the river Tech at Reynès, so called because it was the site of an attack by French resistance fighters on a German Army convoy which was retreating towards Spain. The resistance leader and one German soldier were killed.
Spectacular!

Great lines leading the eye and love the red and blue against the greys

I love the way the French give these date names to places. A dramatic shot - and also love the glimpse of blue sky.

Really like how my eye gets pulled right to that little opening at the end of the bridge...

Oh, forgot to ask.....have you crossed it yourself? Devil still around?

@granagringa I think I've walked to the centre from each direction, but cross it in one go, no, I think not. My soul is safe from the Devil!
