The Rędzin Bridge (Most Rędziński) on the Oder River is the longest and highest bridge in Poland. Is one of the most attractive sites in Wroclaw. It catches your eye from far away. It is the largest river crossing in Poland: - it is 1742-metres long (30 metres longer than the Solidarity Bridge over the Vistula River in Plock) and the pylon on which it is suspended is 122-metres high (8 metres higher than the viewing terrace of the Palace of Culture and Science - Pałac Kultury i Nauki).
The pylon is H-shaped. The construction employs an original solution: the two multi-lane routes are attached separately to the arms of the pylon positioned on an isle in the Oder River.
The Rędzin Bridge is part of the Wroclaw Motorway Ring Road
The chief construction engineer of the Rędzin Bridge is Jan Biliszczuk, a professor at the Wroclaw University of Technology.
Curio:There are over 130 bridges and gangways in Wroclaw
"La vita è un’opportunità, coglila.
La vita è bellezza, ammirala.
La vita è beatitudine, assaporala.
La vita è un sogno, fanne una realtà.
La vita è una sfida, affrontala.
La vita è un dovere, compilo.
La vita è un gioco, giocalo.
La vita è preziosa, abbine cura.
La vita è una ricchezza, conservala.
La vita è amore, godine.
La vita è un mistero, scoprilo.
La vita è promessa, adempila.
La vita è tristezza, superala.
La vita è un inno, cantalo.
La vita è una lotta, accettala.
La vita è un’avventura, rischiala.
La vita è felicità, meritala.
La vita è la vita, difendila."
(Madre Teresa di Calcutta)
Some lovely roses, for you ...
I've chosen this music to go with my image - because I love it, that's all. Life and love are sometimes cruel.

I don't know much about art, but when I come across someone whose work really speaks to me, I tend to get excited. Lately it's Rene Magritte who's been exciting me and... well, y'know. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - and a great way to learn.
One of the things I've learned about Magritte is that his mother died when he was young. She drowned herself, and he was there when they pulled her body from the river. She'd been wearing only a nightgown. As her body was recovered, the water pushed it up over her head. And that's how Magritte saw her - face covered, body exposed. And that... not surprisingly... influenced his work.
One of my favourite pieces of his is The Rape, in which a woman's breasts, navel and vagina take the place of her eyes, nose and mouth. Another of my faves of his (I don't know its name) is a woman with a mirror... not unlike my photo here... but reflected in her mirror is her naked body... from the back.
So this is kind of a combination of those two ideas.
It's been brewing for a long time. Feels good to get it out.
its the driest September i remember .. not a drop so far and none forecast .. about 3 months since we had any wet stuff .

Mein Lieblingsfluß ...
.... noch vor der Elbe, der Loire und anderen Flüssen,
die im Gegensatz zur Oder, mit unzählig schönen Villen, Schlössern und Burgen an ihren Ufern sich schmücken und uns begeistern.
Icelandic nature is wild, austere and of great beauty. We can admire it endlessly.

Ode to Hera
Ox-eyed daughter to rich-haired Rhea,
Wife to great and glorious Zeus,
Queen of the Heavens,
Protector of mothers,
Patron of air,
Loyal, she is,
Regal, she is,
A jealous wife,
A mighty queen,
Devoted to her husband, she will continue to be,
Strong, she will continue to be,
For she is Hera, Queen of the gods

I wanted this picture to be a long exposure shot, but unfortunately without tripod it was pretty much impossible (given that I was standing on the edge of the lake!).
