The Normandy Bridge or Pont de Normandie as the locals might say in the local parley, having passed under this bridge on ships dozens of times up and down to Rouen and Port Jerome and other scenic spots on the river Seine I got a chance to walk under it the other day and take a few shots. It is too big to catch in one shot from underneath unless you have some kid of super fish eye wide angle lens, so here are a few different angles.
The bridge was finished in 1995 and held the record as the worlds longest cable stayed bridge for 4 years until the Japs built a bigger one, which in turn was beaten by a Greek-Italian project which crosses the Gulf of Corinth, I think it won bridge of the year in 2005.
There is a shed load of statistics about height and width on the net if you are into numbers just Google away!
Howdy son
The largest of the bridgepictures is out of centre, pity,allthough I must say you´ve come out with a really nice layout on your site. Did you make it from scratch or was there perhaps a selection of prefabs on your webservice? If it´s your own, you could recieve some designwork on the side from my enterprise. Today has been a wonderful summerday, despite all the arguing between the two daughters on the “this is MINE”-theme. I came up with the idea of removing all their stuff in order to remove the subject of debate but was not appreciated for this at all. I took them swimming twice and served them icecream twice as well. Of to Gothenburg tomorrow. If you happen to come by some Samboca with a competitive price; please buy it for me. I´ll refund the money ofcourse. Goodbye. -Your friend: G. Blomquist
