Skansen Bridge in Trondheim.
This bridge is a railway bridge, designed by Joseph Strauss, who also constructed the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA. It opened on March 22, 1918, allowing trains access from south to Trondheim. And also being abel to open so that boats and ships can sail between Trondheim Canal and Trondheimsfjorden.In 2006 the bridge was conserved by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage. This conservation includes the entire bridge construction and technical equipment, the guard building and the transformer building, but not the railway track, signal equipment and overhead wires.
The bridge is functional and in use today.

Amazing. I like the way the sky contributed to the monochromatic effect. That is quite a bridge.

Kjent og kjær bru:-)) Og flotte bilder:) Ha en fin kveld!
ReplyDeleteFlott komponert bilde serie, Ivar.
ReplyDeleteHar du byttet ut D70`n ?
Wow this is one huge and complex structure. It has aged well too as I would have never guessed it to be that old.
ReplyDeleteVery neat capture!
I thought I was looking at a new structure, so it was interesting to learn it opened so long ago.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots.
ReplyDeletevery interesting!
ReplyDeleteGreat bridge, great shot! I agree with Sandy, I like the monochromatic effect. Thanks for the great shots, as always!
ReplyDeleteSkrabbis da :) D90 er et godt valg det. Bilde messig ligger det vist ikke noe etter D300.
ReplyDeleteÅ joda, har enda flere ubåtbilder fra de fleste vinker og størrelser. Men det er nå meg og vann da ;) Det får bli en annen gang. Skal bli spennende å se dine.
ReplyDeleteFint å gå rundt i byen ja. Alltid noe å fotografere der.
:)
That sure is an amazing bridge.
ReplyDeleteIvar...ES har fått 32 meldinger av deg på msn og han mener det er noe feil hos deg. Virus ??
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a structure. I love your grey-on-grey photos!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous. I am besotted with bridges.
ReplyDeleteDet var en flott bildeserie Ivar, og pene bilder! Var jammen meg en artig bro det der ja. ha en fin uke :=)
ReplyDeleteBridges are very important and not only to get from one side to the other. It opens a world for those who go over them. The photos have a stron and impressive composition! Great Ivar! Thanks for sharing and your visit.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. Thanks for sharing this neat old bridge.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of this interesting bridge. All of that metal and steel. It's kind of amazing really, when you consider man goes through all this trouble to bridge the gap between two pieces of land, yet they don't put forth the same effort in bridging the gap between two human beings.
ReplyDeleteOh, my....what striking photos! Just beautiful. Thank you for posting.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the complex structure.
ReplyDeleteIvar: What an impressive structure, that counterweight is really something. It must be used as a pier for the tracks.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh that is a lot of bridge with some great designs. Thanks for sharing your world
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bridge and the structural work on this piece is really quite interesting indeed!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a structure, I love the way your buildings are coloured.
ReplyDeleteA railway bridge that can open up to allow boats and ships is incredible. You have captured it from various angles beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThe bridge is an amazing piece of art in itself. It certainly is well preserved. Love the detail in your photos of this bridge.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the bridge being conserved.
ReplyDeleteThose old bridges are so impressive. That big block of concrete was so strange.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos. Excellent post!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the bridge and I like how you detailed the structure so well.
ReplyDeleteThat is a marvellous piece of engineering skill. Never would have thought it to be so old. The concrete block puzzles me too. Lovely view of the houses along the 'fjord' in the third shot.
ReplyDeleteIt just so happens that the moment I opened your feed, we were studying trusses in my engineering class.
ReplyDeleteApplied learning. Thank you!
sturdy, strong and grey...like them.
ReplyDeleteInteresting background.
