RE: 2 beautiful Bridges in Madrid ~ Puente Monumental de Arganzuela and Puente de Toledo 🇪🇸

in Architecture+Design3 years ago

Hello Jackie @littlebee4. Wow! These 2 Spanish bridges are absolutely magnificent feats of engineering! Despite having contrasting design signatures, one in ancient Baroque while the other in a more modern/industrial flavor, both are still equally impressive in their own distinctive characteristics.

However, if I were to choose between them, my ultimate favorite would be the pedestrian bridge of Puente Monumental de Arganzuela. I just love the incredible creativity behind this masterpiece. If I was standing inside that bridge, I'd probably experience a trance-like feeling caused by the spellbinding motions of its spiraling patterns, haha. 🤣 Have you noticed this as well? 😃

Thank you so much @storiesoferne 😊
Both were stunning in their own right.

As you probably saw, because of more photos containing that bridge, it was my favourite too.
Just amazing… loved it… it had a special feeling to it, walking through. Looking up… taking in all little details. Luckily it wasn’t busy and I truly could take my time for it. Taking it all in. 😉
I think the experience you describe will be even stronger when it would be dark outside and the vast amounts of lights inside the bridge would light it up. Imagine all the extra light and shadow parts to it.

Glad I could share this with you.

You're most welcome @littlebee4. Oh yeah, I could definitely visualize how the nighttime experience of the Puente Monumental de Arganzuela, with its dazzling lights, would be more spectacular. I found this photo below on the internet. This fascinating bridge could be compared to a space wormhole that transports you to another dimension in the universe. Sorry, but sometimes, I do have wild imaginations. 😁 No wonder this modern monument has become your favorite too. Fantastic publication! 😊

Wow… how amazing is that! I didn’t think of looking it up how it would look like during nighttime.
Thanks for that @storiesoferne.
It looks amazing 🤩 and I definitely can see the comparison with a space wormhole… transporting you to another dimension… hahaha I have some imagination too 😉😎

Thank you so much 😊
Have a great Monday 👋🏻☀️

You too @littlebee4, enjoy the start of your week. Stay awesome! 😊

Will do enjoy this new week… lots of plans and many things to organise for our 2 week journey to the UK next month. Visiting Russells family. Haven’t seen any family in over 2 years, the joys of living abroad.
Thanks 😁

Oh, that's absolutely wonderful! I'm so happy for you and thrilled about the fantastic journey you're taking. Blessings in life are meant to be savored. Extend my warmest greetings and virtual hugs to your great husband and to the rest of your lovely family! 😍🙏😊

Thank you so so much @storiesoferne I will extend your greetings to Russell and to his family once we arrive there the 7th of April.
Much appreciated.

Yes, those moments are just special and I so treasure them…
