Pont du Stierchen, a photo from Luxembourg, Sud

Photographer's Note

Luxembourg City was once known as the Gibraltar of the North. Until today, remnants of massive fortifications have been preserved on a large rock overlooking the Alzette River valley.
The medieval bridge, Pont du Stierchen, is part of lower fortifications and connects the main part of the city and the former craftsmen district Grund located along the Alzette river.

Hi Rysard
A good one from up on high showing plenty of fascinating detail, not just the bridge but also the intensive food planting beside the river. A great one.
cheers
Ian

Hi Ryszard,

A superb downward pov, with wonderful reflections of the blue cloud studded sky and green trees in the distance. The old stone bridge makes a great focal point. Tfs!

Hello Ryszard, a lovely view from your high vantage point.
Lots to see in this very sharp shot. Perfect reflection of the bridges’ arches. There are some very well tended garden plots which add some pattern and textures to the scene.
Lovely work.
Regards Jean.

Hello Ryszard,
I like how the bridge is a direct continuation of the defense wall. It is beautifully reflected in the calm water. Even more interesting may be the carefully tended garden on the fortified side of the river. Such views from above always seem to reveal more than can be observed from ground level.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Ryszard
What a depth of aerial view retaining mass of detail combining the green lungs with medieval structures drawing the eyes in all the way. The shiny calm stream rests one’s eye as effective focal point. I feel that you have captured this sight so superbly and lovely matured tones. Well done, Congrats
Best regards

a nice overview with fine details, being a keen (vegetable) gardener my eye is immediately drawn to the vegetable beds on the left, trying to see what they are growing ;). Good clarity and colours

Hi Ryszard,back in the view from above from your last trip and this is a great close up,beautiful capture of the old bridge and of the lot of green of herbs,trees and wineyards too,perfect sharpness and nice reflections too. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Ryszard,
Honestly, I didn't know that the city of Luxembourg was once called the Gibraltar of the North but I surely understand the comparison.
The wall and the bridge divide the landscape in a park-like part and another one with many vegetable gardens.
The bridge and its reflections create two nice blue eyes.
Best regards, Paul

Ryszard, that bridge is a part of the massive fortifications existing in Luxembourg. It is crossing the river Alzette. Vegetable gardens are growing on the river bank. Very calm and peaceful place.

Hello Ryszard,

This is a very good view of the Grund.
I love how well you have used the river, both for its guidance and for its splendid reflections.
We get an excellent impression of being up high and looking down on this interesting scene.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Ryszard,
Before I read your note, I thought it was a moat. At any rate, a lovely bird's eye view of the bridge and its reflection. 👍🏻👍🏻
Regards,
MT
