THE SOUL OF RIGA
Sun Strings — Vanšu Bridge, Riga
History & Facts. The Vanšu Bridge over the Daugava opened in 1981. Its main span is cable-stayed from a 109 m pylon, linking Old Riga with Pārdaugava and standing as a city icon.

Interesting. At opening it ranked among the longest cable-stayed bridges in the USSR; today it’s a favorite for architecture and cityscape photography.

Author’s note. Pointed at the sun, the cables become rhythm and geometry; in infrared, metal and sky turn into high-contrast forms.
