Message on a Bridge - a photo on Flickriver

Macro Monday substitute photo. The MM theme was "Pink", and I don't have many pink things (in general) that also happen to be photogenic in a macro setting, so I thought I'd at least upload a photo today that has a pink element in it. In this case, it's the wrought-iron bridge banister and ornament that used to be a part of the old Marschallbrücke (located in Berlin-Mitte), and that are now (design) elements of the "Anhalter Steg" which connects the Hallesches Ufer (and also the Tempodrom and the Anhalter Bahnhof) with the German Museum of Technology (Deutsches Technikmuseum) in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The bridge reflection which you can see in the muddy waters of the Landwehr Canal is an elevated railway line that is used by the metro lines U1 and U3. 

When I crossed the Anhalter Steg after a visit to the Technikmuseum, I thought that it might be interesting to photograph the bridge's ornament straight from above, with the railway bridge's reflection adding further interest, and when I leaned onto the banister and looked down I noticed that someone either very tall (and flexible) or brave enough to climb onto the ornament had written "token 911" onto it. A general statement? I assume that we will never know.

Have a nice week ahead, dear Flickr Friends!

Per Anhalter über den Landwehrkanal

Gut, es geht auch zu Fuß – und das vermutlich schneller ;) Dieses historische Brückenelement ist Bestandteil des neuen Anhalter Stegs, der seit 2001 das Deutsche Technikmuseum über den Landwehrkanal hinweg mit dem Halleschen Ufer inklusive Elise-Tilse-Park, Tempodrom und Anhalter Bahnhof verbindet. Das Brückengeländer mit dem dekorativen rosafarbenen Element, das der Berliner Architekt Benedict Tonon für den Bau des Anhalter Stegs verwendet hat, war eigentlich Bestandteil der alten Marschallbrücke in Berlin-Mitte, die in den Jahren 1997-1999, ebenfalls nach einem Entwurf von Benedict Tonon, saniert und an die gestiegenen Anforderungen des Schiffsverkehrs angepasst wurde. Diese bedingten es, dass nicht alle ursprünglichen Bauelemente der historischen Marschallbrücke vor Ort wiederverwendet werden konnten, weshalb Tonon dieses Brückenelement in den Anhalter Steg integrierte.

Habt eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
