HFF – The Peace Bridge - Londonderry/Derry

We are now in Northern Ireland and in one of its most historic and interesting cities.
So we are walking across this amazing structure. The Peace Bridge is a cycle and foot bridge across the River Foyle. It opened on 25 June 2011, connecting Ebrington Square with the rest of the city centre. It is called the peace bridge because it was thought to help improve relationships of a once very divided community. The largely Unionist 'Waterside' and the largely Nationalist 'City Side' and the bridge joins the two side together over the river.

Enjoy full size and enjoy the weekend

This type of bridge is always very spectacular. We lived in Norway for 5 years and there was an example of a similar one in a town called Drammen.
HFF, Herb, and stay cool

HFF, Herb. All the best for your weekend.
There's such delightful grace to both the architecture and the picture. Swan-like in the flow of the curves of the platform and the cables. Well shot.

It's a beautiful modern bridge and very well captured Herb. I hope it did improve relationships, and continues to do so.

I hope you have a good weekend and continue to feel better after your brush with Covid.
HFF and best wishes, Rosa.

I think it did and does Rosa but there is still a lot of pent up anger in these parts.

Ich werde mich immer an die Worte erinnern, als ich vor vielen Jahren in eine Kneipe in Londonderry ging. Verstohlen guckte ich durch die Eingangstür und ein Gast winkte mir zu und sage: Come in, you're leaving the English sector... Das waren harte Zeiten...
