Le Pont de Fragnée


The angels on two of the pillars of the Pont de Fragnée bridge herald the coming day.

It is the most beautiful bridge in Liège. It was built for the Exposition Universelle of 1905, blown up by the Belgian army in WWII to slow down the speed of the German advance and rebuilt exactly like the original after the war. Here's a detail of a water-bearer sculpture and a lamppost silhouetted against the sunrise and accompanied by traffic lights, electric pillars and factory chimneys.
