The E16 bridge from Djurås

Post by ErikGustav2 »

The bridge itself is nothing special. A modern bridge.
But the environment is special.

This is the bridge itself. Crossing Österdalälven.

And here is where you can wait for the boat.
There is even an toilet (Not WC)

Älvmötet

Älmötet => The joining of the two rivers.

Is just at the south end of the Bridge.

And continue as one river. All the way to the sea on the east coast of Sweden

Time for a "fika". Coffee. And some reflections/contempations

How things are and how they could have been.
Searching for serenity.

Accept things that you can't change.
But the brain does not follows logic and orders.

The bridge from Älvmötet to Bodarna

Post by ErikGustav2 »

Again, a quite normal bridge.
But the views are great.
The bridge is just a tool to see the views

On one side there is a shelter. This design with a roof going out over the fireplace is very specific.
It is a "Slogbod"

And here is a cabin. Close to the river.
Just waiting for someone tog give it some love and care

Time for a Swedish remake of The Bridges of Maddison County?

Staring a motorcycling photographer called Erik, and a farmer's wife whose husband and daughter are at a livestock show?
