Wonderful lines in this image Marie, I love the optical illusion that the woman is dangling a leg off the bridge! Lovely colours, well captured!

j'essaye de comprendre, c'est un pont sous un pont, pourquoi faire deux ponts ? En tout cas c'est un bien jolie photo, on a envie d'y voir de plus pres

@Veronelle: C'est un pont tournant pour les voitures puis au-dessus il y a un pont piétons et derrière d'autres ponts et des écluses ...!!

Lots of bridges ... a good capture, Marie ... and is that a revolving car-bridge in the foreground?
