All places has a story, even the unexpected ones. Ha de Gött!
Through the window of the shoemakers house. The pot and the bucket put up for a last display in the front porch window. A time capsule house where only the spiders reside.
Things stop, but time goes on, ha de Gött!
Sky is the limit, ha de Gött!

Bridges, they should not only do their job and connect people. They should also be aesthetic and form a landmark. I believe that Uddevallabron over the fjord Byfjorden, fulfils both criteria. Thinking I wanted to take some pictures every time I pass over it but never got around to it until today. Not the best conditions when I arrived with harsh daylight and clear sky but good things comes to those who wait.
The bridge was completed in May 2000 after almost three years of construction. With its 1712 meters it’s the second longest motorway bridge in Sweden. At its completion it shortened the travel distance between Göteborg and Oslo by 12,8 kilometres. The design is a cable-stayed bridge and the main span is 414 meters. The sail free clearance is 51 meters and the pylons are 149 meters high.
Be a bridge over troubled waters, ha de Gött!
Mushrooms for your Friday, ha de Gött!
