sun tinted

Posted by daniela scharnowski (Berlin, Germany) on 4 November 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.

This is the turning bridge connecting the Darss peninsula with the land. The Meiningenbridge was built 1908 - 1912 as a railway bridge, the last train passed 1947, after WW2 the rails were tranferred to the soviets - as reparation. Since 1964 it´s only used by cars. It´s 470 m long and the turning part is on the left here - with the nice little house.

This shot was taken from a boat on the lagoon (Bodden) where we waited for the arrival of the cranes at their sleeping place, enjoying one of the most sensational sunsets I´ve ever seen. (tbc)

The cranes sleeping place... those words make me dream as much as the colors & light here, Daniela*

@k@: sounds very romantic, right? The bad part of it is - we were too far away to see them on their reed-armed sleeping island - our guide said that even if it was allowed to get closer - which isn´t ;) - the minimum distance the cranes will tolerate will be 300m - and they stand so close on that island that you´ll only see a grey mass on legs ;)) I caught some in flight, one "good" picture of 47 =( that´s life.

Fantastic composition and the colours of the bridge and sunset are perfectly captured in the water reflection. Lovely photo
