Silhouette against the Light — Vanšu Bridge
History & Facts
The Vanšu Bridge, inaugurated in 1981, remains one of Riga’s main arteries, connecting the city center with Pārdaugava. It spans over 800 meters, with its pylon rising 109 meters high.

Interesting
At the time of its opening, the Vanšu Bridge was the longest cable-stayed bridge in Europe. It has also appeared in films, becoming a recognizable symbol of Riga.

Author’s Note
Here, the bridge becomes a dark silhouette against the setting sun. It feels like a force standing between day and night.
