Description
This site along the Rhine River in Mainz, Germany first had a bridge spanning the river in 27 AD that was constructed by the Romans. In 1885, the first arch bridge was erected and survived until the end of World War II when it was destroyed by German military engineers in 1945. In 1948 the construction of the present bridge began and was completed two years later in 1950. The bridge was named after German statesman Theodor Heuss and had a partial reconstruction in 1992-1995. Our one evening in Mainz was lovely, and my husband and I strolled along the promenade that follows the river a ways outside the city. As the sun sank in the sky, the golden hour light was shining just right on the bridge giving me the opportunity to get this shot, one of my favorites from Mainz. My original photo has been digitally enhanced to achieve a painterly presentation.
