On the way to Hoofddorp

I am a sucker for cable-stayed bridges. They present a perception of fragility while hiding their strength, which they derive from those frail looking highly tensile cable strands. We got lucky today on our way to Hoofddorp, as we found two of those gorgeous ones.1

  1. Update: Designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, three bridges Harp, Cittern and Lute—named after stringed musical instruments—spanning the main canal of Haarlemmermeer were opened, in 2004 by Queen Beatrix. []
