Grote Knip in Curacao edited. Curacao is an island in the Lesser Antilles part of the Caribbean Archipelago. Once a Dutch Colony but now independent. It makes up the C in the ABC islands. The other two being Aruba and Bonaire. The water is clear enough to see the coral at the bottom of the cove. It looks shallow but it's at least 5 meters deep. Cliff Divers can be found here diving from the top of the cliffs of 20 plus meters. #GroteKnip #青緑

Die Königin-Emma-Brücke (niederländisch Koningin Emmabrug) oder „Pontjesbrug“ ist eine charakteristische Pontonbrücke im Zentrum von Willemstad auf Curaçao. Sie treibt auf der „Sint Annabaai“ und verbindet die Stadtteile Punda und Otrabanda. Die Brücke ist keine feste Uferverbindung, sondern sie kann von Otrabanda aus an das Ufer gedreht werden, um die Durchfahrt zwischen der Karibik und der St-Anna-Bucht zu ermöglichen. Diese Konstruktion ist einzigartig in der Welt. Daher kommt auch der Spitzname Swinging Old Lady (‚Drehende alte Dame‘). Sie wurde 1888 erbaut und nach der niederländischen Königin Emma benannt (Wikipedia).
The Queen Emma Bridge (Dutch: Koningin Emmabrug; nickname Swinging Old Lady) is a pontoon bridge across St. Anna Bay in Curaçao. It connects the Punda and Otrobanda quarters of the capital city, Willemstad. The bridge is hinged and opens regularly to enable the passage of oceangoing vessels. On the opposite end from the hinge is a small shelter where an operator controls two diesel engines turning propellers. The propellers are mounted perpendicular to the length of the bridge and allow it to swing parallel to the shore. The process only takes a few minutes to complete. The bridge was built in 1888 (Wikipedia).
