Meine liebe Gattin wollte Blumen gießen, der Wasserschöpfer wurde in der Zwischenzeit zu Wohnzwecken umgewandelt. Ein kleiner Anflug von Arachnophobie folgte. 😄 Panasonic DC-S5+ Canon FL 50mm f3.5, + 15mm Makroring.
My dear wife wanted to water the flowers, and the water tank had been converted into a living space. A slight bout of arachnophobia followed. 😄 Panasonic DC-S5 + Canon FL 50mm f3.5, + 15mm macro ring.

The Erasmusbrug (English: "Erasmus Bridge") is a combined cable-stayed and bascule bridge. Construction began in 1986 and was completed in 1996. It crosses the Nieuwe Maas in the centre of Rotterdam, connecting the north and south parts of this city, second largest in the Netherlands. The bridge was named in 1992 after Desiderius Erasmus, a prominent Christian Renaissance humanist also known as Erasmus of Rotterdam. The Erasmus Bridge is Rotterdam's most important landmark and is even part of the city's official logo
History
The 802-metre-long (2,631 ft) bridge across the New Meuse was designed by Ben van Berkel and completed in 1996. The cable-stayed bridge section has a single 139-metre-high (456 ft) asymmetrical pale blue pylon with a prominent horizontal base, earning the bridge its nickname "The Swan".
The southernmost span of the bridge has an 89-metre-long (292 ft) bascule bridge for ships that cannot pass under the bridge. The bascule bridge is the largest and heaviest in Western Europe and has the largest panel of its type in the world.
After costing more than 165 million Euros to construct, the bridge was officially opened by Queen Beatrix on September 6, 1996. Shortly after the bridge opened to traffic in October 1996, it was discovered the bridge would swing under particularly strong wind conditions. To reduce the trembling, stronger shock dampers were installed.

Nicht schon wieder Krokusse! 😁 Doch! Ich hatte im vergangenen Jahr ähnliche Wasserfarben-Effekte mit der Kombination Schneider Xenar 50 2.8 + 20mm Extension erzielt. Aber das Xenon legte beim experimentieren im Garten noch eine Schippe drauf. Pinsel und Staffelei können nun in der Schublade bleiben. Neutrales JPEG direkt aus der Kamera.
Not crocuses again! 😁 Yes! Last year I achieved similar watercolor effects with the combination Schneider Xenar 50 2.8 + 20mm extension. But the Xenon took things up a notch when I was experimenting in the garden. Brushes and easel can now stay in the drawer. Neutral JPEG straight from the camera.
