The old train bridge over Årsta bay.

At Hammarby gate.

Wherever you are.

The old one at the left side.

It has been a foggy day, still it is.

Not beautiful but it have its charm.

I’m on track again ;-).

Both train bridges crossing Årsta bay, Stockholm, Sweden.

I like :-).

Yes I know there are some pictures of Årsta bridge now :-).

…and burn your bridges down. The Ship Song, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
OK, I know you seen it before but I really like bridges, especially this one.

It was a long time sins there was a stream here.

If you follow Göta country road crossing The Årsta field you will walk over this bridge from the 18′th century. The bridge crosses Valla stream. There’s not much water in it nowadays but for about 100 years ago it was quite a good stream. There were even plans transporting timber in the stream but Märta Helena Reenstierna (the Årsta lady) didn’t like those plans so she stopped them.

The left bridge is Skanstulls bridge. You can see the mill in the background. Somewhere around the mill death punishment by hanging were executed in the 18′th & 19′th century, the weekend happening for people, always crowded.

The newest bridge of three between Skanstull and Gullmarsplan, Stockholm, Sweden. This one is just for traffic.

A beautiful bridge I think. OK it looks a bit worn right now but it’s going through a renovation.

I like the colour and the curves of the new bridge. I was against it from the beginning because it would shade the old bridge which I think is one of the most beautiful bridges in Stockholm. But I did change my mind.
