It was an enjoyment to read about the history behind these famous and some not quite so famous bridges. My favorite bridge is the “Pont Du Carrousel.” The architectural design has been deemed “old-fashioned,” but that is what adds to its charm. A mystique surrounds the allegorical sculptures with the Seine speaking the most to me. They represent “Industry, Abundance, Paris, and the Seine.” And the pink glow of sunset that encompasses the bridge is simply breathtaking. BRIDGES OF PARIS is an amazing collection of bridge photographs that takes the viewer on a scenic tour of Paris unlike any you’ve ever seen. Laderman, Julian (2007).
