I share in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia this photograph of the Nelson Mandela Bridge, which is located in the municipality of El Prat de Llobregat and which is the last one over the Llobregat River before reaching the mouth.
It is an incredible construction to be able to take photographs of symmetry and composition as well as being able to enjoy beautiful sunsets.
The photograph is a long exposure capture taken with a tripod looking for that symmetry of the upper part along with the flash of the streetlights and the trails of the cars on both lanes.
Technical data: Exposure time, 30"; Aperture, f.18; ISO 100; Canon 90D; Focal length, 24 mm.
This bridge was inaugurated in April 2015 and was named after the South African president, Nelson Mandela, the great activist against apartheid.
To expand the Port of Barcelona, the Llobregat River was diverted. Due to this action, the Pratenc Industrial Estate was almost isolated from the urban center of El Prat. With the construction of the bridge, direct access was given to the area and the connection with the ZAL (Port Logistics Activities Zone) was improved.
