This bridge in Almere is leading nowhere, it is closed with a locked gate. It was built as an entrance to a castle which is never finished and is still a ruine. If it ever will be completed is a matter of money.
Still waiting for many years now to become a real estate.
See for more Sunday Bridges here
Een stevige brug naar nergens. Wat jammer dat het kasteel niet helemaal werd gebouwd. [Excuse my bad Dutch, I never went to school in the Netherlands. :-) ]
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a beautiful scene but so sad that it was never finished... my guess is that with the current state of world economy that it will ever be completed.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou should look up Longwood (Mississippi) for another unfinished "castle"
I am sending a kitty (Lucy) over here to see your precious Pimmie.
Bises,

Nice shots. I think the grass is growing, it is more green than here.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHi there,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGenie at Paris and Beyond sent me over. Pimmie is adorable! I love all your pictures in your sidebar.
Your pictures are beautiful. It's a shame about the castle but at the same time, ruins are always fascinating. What a beautiful place. I'm perfectly fine with going nowhere.
I like the angle of this shot; I can see around the bend a little through the curves of the bridge. Too bad about the castle. It looks like it could have been great!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHehe. The bridge does look like it's going nowhere. :)

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI have been in Natchez once, but I have never seen the castle. It was a very short visit. Thanks for your kind comment and sending Lucy.
i think i saw that once. what a waste...! as if the dutch dont have enough real, old, pretty castles! :)
BeantwoordenVerwijdereni do like your post and photos about it!
But it has a great story, built as an entrance to a castle!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a great choice of interesting shots for this week’s post. I love the idea that it is locked up and the castle is there in the background just waiting for someone to come along and snatch it up! The water and the grasses add such a lovely touch to the composition. It is sad they are having to sit there unused and unfinished.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWeer mooie foto's! Ja, heel apart dat kasteel in de 'wetsland'. Die brug ken ik niet, ik ga gauw eens kijken. Ja, een beetje wind tegen heb ik morgen wel, no problem! Dank je en ook hartelijke groet, Maria
