The UFO Bridge of Bratislava

The UFO Bridge in Bratislava, officially named Most SNP (Bridge of the Slovak National Uprising) or Nový most (New Bridge),
is a distinctive cable-stayed bridge over the Danube River known for its UFO-shaped observation deck.
It's a popular tourist attraction, offering panoramic views of the city from its restaurant and observation deck.
It is the world’s longest bridge to have one pylon and one cable-stayed plane.
The elevator takes you to the restaurant in just 45 seconds.
It connects the newer part of Bratislava to the old part.
There was controversy when it was build because 228 historic buildings were destroyed in order to build it.
We only got to see the bridge from the outside as there was not enough time to visit there.

An impressive and unique-looking bridge. Good clouds and tree for the composition!

Such a neat structure and so nicely photographed. Too bad about having to destroy historic buildings though.

Impressive Bridge construction this might one of a kind with the UFO appearance.
Can just picture this at night.
Excellent placement in the frame.

A great capture of this giant overowering the bridge, with clear comparison to the size of the lampposts for reference. ~VV~
