Here is a view of the Karl-Theodor-Brücke bridge Built between 1786-88, over the Neckar River. Prince Karl Theodor ordered the construction of a stone bridge to replace the wooden ones that always seemed to be susceptible to Fire and flood.The bridge was built between 1786-88, the Alte Bruckes now one of Heidelberg's most celebrated tourist sights. The southern end of the bridge was initially linked to Heidelberg's city wall and contains a gate, which can be raised or lowered. The bridge contains two statues: one of Prince Karl Theodor with the Mosel, Rhine, Isar and Danube at his feet; (Tomorrows post) and and Pallas Athene, The Goddess of Wisdom.

It really looks great Jelly. I would like to take a trip to that part of the world. You must have been there for awhile. I think it was wise to build a stone bridge for all of us to enjoy.

A wonderful composition. I particularly love the textures of the stonework and the shimmering reflections.
