Theme day: bridges


Hey, guess what? Today is the 1st of the month and, yes, the theme day has returned! I chose the Bir Hakeim bridge that you have already seen on this blog from another angle. It's a very interesting bridge because it's got two stories: one for cars (built in 1878) and one for the metro (built in 1905). The top part - used by metros - is a real work of art even though some ornaments have disappeared during a renewal work in the 1940s. Recently, they added a bicycle lane.

More than a 120 City Daily Photo blogs are currently participating in this theme day. Please pay them a visit, but remember that they don't all post at the same time .

    Je n'ai pas réussi à poster la liste des villes participantes avec les liens.... Quel casse-tête !

  9. Felicia said...

    Great photo Eric! Always a fresh perspective at PDP! Hope you are doing well.

  10. Michael said...

    Wow I love this! It looks like something out of a '60's gangster movie...ok, except for the bike markings!

  11. Arnaud said...

    Your photo is a work of art as well. I like the depth and how the shadow, at the top, graduates down the photo as the columns march into the distance.

    This has got to be the best black and white photo of bridges today! I love it.

    Wow, Eric. This is a great photograph. I really like this.

  19. Gail's Man said...

    Good use of perspective. Even the painted cyclists are a work of art.

  20. Jules said...

    Have always thought Paris is the Bridge capital of the world and this is surely one that helps with that ranking. I haven't seen it before so it is now another one to add to my list.
    Great perspective, and light!!!

  21. tonton_flaneur said...

    Very film noir...excellent!!

  22. sam said...

    that is stunning, and I like that you did it in b&w, very STRIKING! (oops, mustn't use the s-word on a French blog!)

  23. Sally said...

    Beautiful photo...a study in perspective and shape.

  24. Neva said...

    I like the bridge with the bike signs painted on it.

  25. Paris Set Me Free said...

    Great photo Eric - I'm impressed with this one - I used to work next to, and use the Pont Bir Hakeim (never managed to pronounce that correctly) for years when I was an English teacher, so I'm fond of this one.

  26. rich.painter21 said...

    Eric

    That's one of your finest ever shots. Superb use of perspective.

  27. • Eliane • said...

    Brilliant picture Eric. The black and white suits it so well. Bravo!

  28. Tomate Farcie said...

    Looks like the bridge is melting! ;)

  29. Annie said...

    Great photo. Very different than the others that I have seen. Love it!
