The City Bridge "De Oversteek" in Nijmegen

21/4/2013

The arch of the City Bridge “De Oversteek” was moved to its final place over the river Waal. The main span of the arch bridge is 285m long; the total length of the structure, the arched bridge including the approach ramps, is 1,2 km. The city bridge comemorates the daring crossing of the 82nd airborne division during the Second World War. The bridge is being build at the site where the paratroopers crossed the Waal River in small boats in daylight. During the crossing on September 20th 1944, 48 American soldiers died. More than 10.000 people followed the spectacular mega-operation on April 20, 2013.

About Me

I just like to take pictures, I just push the button. I never worked in the darkroom, I never studied photography or journalism; I’m just a passionate photographer.

For a long time I used to take pictures - like so many of us - to capture memories of family holidays and events. Over time I’ve found that experiences are deepened and one notices things more intensely by thinking visually. I came to enjoy the quality of light, amazing reflections, geometrical forms and colours. Ever since, I have been determined to take my skills to the next level. I also want to share my work with a much larger audience, because I truly believe that the only way to keep feeding one’s inspiration, creativity, and ultimately getting better at what one is passionate about, is to invite others to critique my work.

"Success is the ability to go from failure to failure, without a loss of enthusiasm”
Sir Winston Churchill

Therefore, I Am A Believer Of "All Critiques Are Valid". Thank You!

This blog is about life as it unfolds around me. What I’m seeing, hearing or reading is sometimes beautiful, surreal, ugly, paradoxical and complex. It’s a little bit of everything and a little bit of nothing but I hope it’s unique in its own right.
