The English Bridge, a photo from Lubuskie, West

Photographer's Note

The Muskau Park is one of the most extensive 19th century landscape-style park layouts in Europe. From among the numerous landscape-style park compositions created in that period the Muskau Park stands out not only owing to its artistic values, but also because of the fact that the Park, as the consequence of World War II divided by the state border on the Lusatian Neisse river, since the 1980s has been undergoing restoration carried out by two countries: Poland and Germany, within the framework of a joint project. It is owing to the efforts of the Polish side and the German side that this park in 2004 was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and at the same time became a symbol of the reconciliation between the nations of Poland and Germany and of the conservation collaboration in the field of cultural landscape protection. Thanks to cross-border cooperation measures were taken to restore the Park's historic compositions, including bridges to their former glory. The English Bridge and the Double Bridge, connecting the two banks of the Lusatian Neisse, and the Arcade Bridge situated on the Polish side of the Park have been subjected to conservation renovations whereby the bridges have been restored to their former glory.

Hi Piotr,
Beautiful view of this little river and an old bridge crossing it. Autumn colours are at their best on those maples. Excellent high viewpoint.

Hello Piotr,
Looks as a charming park to take an easy stroll and enjoy the vegetation especially in autumn.
The bridge added good sense of scale to the sight, wonderfully shown from a high POV.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Hello Piotr,
Architecturally the bridge is average, but few European bridges can equal it for symbolic importance. It is now a very peaceful place for strolling and to enjoy fresh air and the colours of autumn. Even the dog is allowed to investigate the interesting smells without a leash. You captured a lot from this angle and the colours are beautiful.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Piotr,
You placed the bridge very well diagonally in the left hand side of the composition. It is surrounded by a wonderful collection of autumn colours. Very well captured from a good vantage point.

Hi Piotr,

The trees are framing well the bridge. The point of view is showing the details of the bridge. It is clear and sharp. Have a nice dya.

Hi Piotr
A lovely autumnal colours of the 'garden' and excellent detail add a sort of quiet formality. A simple shot but the real thing wins the day
Best regards

Cześć Piotrze, Widzę tu słupek graniczny. Ladny most.. Ja pamiętam taki sympatyczny mały mostek niebieski. Ślicznie wygląda park w jesiennej szacie. A byłes w Gorlitz? Bardzo mi sie tam podobało.

Pozdrawiam serdecznie

Czesc Piotr,
Tak sie wlasnie zastanawialem patrzac na Google Maps czy wiekszosc atrakcji tego parku nie jest po niemieckiej stronie.
Widze ze wybrales scenke ktora laczy jesienna kolorystyke z interesujacym mostem w glebi.
Troche wiecej slonca na pewno bardziej ozywiloby ten widok.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M
