SNP Bridge from the Harbour Bridge, I was particularly interested in the similar angle of inclination of the pillars of the Harbour Bridge and the supporting pillars of the UFO.

The Harbour Bridge

Thanks to its location, the view from the Harbour Bridge shows Bratislava in all its complexity, because it does not take any part of it out of context. The views from it form collages of all the city characteristics, depicted by the industry, the history, and the quest to reinvent the face of the capital. At the same time, the Harbour Bridge is a metaphor of Bratislava in the sense that it is itself outdated, dirty and noisy, but the life around it is relentlessly trying to reshape it for modern purposes. Every day, it is crossed by many cyclists and joggers, for whom crossing the bridge is a change from a monotonous journey. However, they are denied the best view, because the bridge is neglected and the key walkway is closed to the public. There´s nothing to do but enjoy the views framed by the bridge´s pillars and, when a train passes, plug your ears and wait for the scene to reopen.
