On the old jetty

view map

The bridge on the photo is the Great Belt bridge in Denmark. Opened in 1998, it is the third
longest suspension bridge in the world. The 1630 m long free span sits some 65 meters above the
sea level. Incidentally, the top of the pylons are the highest place in Denmark (260 meters asl,
compared to the highest land point located at about 180 m asl)

The decrepit jetty in the foreground was used by the ferry service operating before the bridge was put in place.

I really like the juxtaposition of the old structure and the new. What bridge is this?

The near-silhouettes are just superb, as is the light. V.
