A few slow-news days in a row have left me trawling the archives - this picture is from Day 1.097.I had wondered about the strange pylons on this bridge (which normally looks like this) ever since we arrived here, although I'd never given it much thought. The fact that this section swings to let tall boats through doesn't completely explain the pylons of course - but at least it shows why they have to hold the wires so high. In fact the bridge was not open for a boat, but for maintenance work of some sort. Somehow the people working on it looked very small. Later we saw it closed again as a train went across. The river traffic was quiet though.
