This might have been a 'I have seen that before, but where' scenario for some of you. But it was the Pont Langlois near Arles in France. Which in itself is quite 'huh?', but combined with a certain famous and tormented Dutch painter (Vinnie!), it got worldwide fame. Who got the points this week? Well, I said so last week: but Yamini is a girl very much in the know and she got it right: 1 point to her. And Millie and Walter got it right too: 1 point to them.
My own story? On a trip to the Provence with a bunch of high school children, this was one of our stops. The bridge itself is not in use anymore, as it is a bit fragile and would be even more so when hordes of tourists want to take selfies on the bridge. Hence the raised position and the fact that it was fenced off. Mind you, the only tourists there that day were us!
On now to this week's challenge. Where is this? Have you ever been? What is your story? Answer as usual next week!
The Oldehove in Leeuwarden. Very difficult to climb up and down.
ReplyDeleteAnd the tower isn't finished (there is no top) as it started to lean while still being build.

ReplyDeleteAm going to trust Gera on this one!!! Finally one I didn't not immediately know... though I was leaning (no pun intended) towards this being the tower you saw on recent Eurovision trip; a bit similar, albeit straighter! YAM xx
remove that second 'not'. The fingers work independently at times....
DeleteI think I know where it isn't. I may be wrong though.
ReplyDeleteWe have no idea where this building is but maybe they were trying to imitate the Leaning Tower of Pisa but in red brick. BOL!
ReplyDeleteI like the draw bridge (that is what we call them in NC). There used to be a lot in coastal NC but they are dwindling probably due to $$ of upkeep. Most are being replaced by high stationary bridges.

Well, was in Arles while on the cruise for our 50th anniversary. Do not remember seeing that bridge. I have not a clue about the leaning tower. hugs
ReplyDeleteThe bridge is not in Arles itself, but just outside it somewhere.
