old meets new

The old Årstabron in all it's splendour. The bridge is from 1929 but
the train model is much newer. It has been around for two years.
.
Gamla Årstabron (eller östra som den också kallas) tillsammans med
ett betydligt nyare tåg: X60, om jag inte tar helt fel.

that's a really nice contrast! I like the idea of the new using the old things...

Everybody: Do the photo justice and click to enlarge it! It has - as Bernt once put it - "a big oumpf-factor".

On the photo we see one of the new commuter trains going south on the old Årsta bridge. Bernt's previous post "reflections of Stockholm" (2007-07-10) was taken from about the same spot (the new Årsta bridge), with the train - so to speak - in the back.

One of the best this year! Congrats Bernt!

Good one. And for those who can’t get enough of this bridge, here’s the “down under” perspective from Kenta Jönsson.

Thanks Peter :-) To be precise, I'm standing on the walk-bridge a few houndred meters away from the first location.

Per, how funny that both Kenta and I happened to choose the same motiv that day.......and that you found it !
