Bridge

The weather was great yesterday and we made a cycling tour in the surroundings.

We passed this wooden bridge that recently was mysterious damaged by someone unknown. The roadsurface of wooden planks was broken. A further investigation revealed that someone from the Almere municipality must have driven over the bridge with an electric lawnmower that was too heavy. The yellow sign on the right reads "Prohibited for motor vehicles" . The driver can be glad he did not end up in the water.

When this  lift bridge in Weesp opens up it has a surprise to watch for the waiting public.
