Pythonbrug




This is a picture of Amsterdam's Python Bridge or the Pythonbrug. It was built in 2001 by the Rotterdam Firm of architects and connects the Sporenburg Penninsula with Borneo Island. It is a walking bridge with wooden steps all the way up and across it, and is much bigger than it looks. I get really excited about unique but practical art-chitecture. Something that totally helps the area out esthetically but is practical. I walked for HOURS to get to this bridge because I didn't know that it was totally out of the main city of Amsterdam and actually had to walk across two other bridges to get there. An amazing sight and I'm glad to say that I have experienced it in real life.
