The Fredrikstad bridge is reflected in the Glomma River.
Like a steel jewel in the night, Fredrikstadbroa stretches across the dark surface of Glomma, an arc of light and structure that connects the two sides of the city. The elegant steel structure stands as a testament to engineering and timeless beauty, and its reflection in the river’s still waters creates an illusion of infinity – a bridge not just over water, but between light and shadow, between solid ground and floating reflections.
Along the riverbank, the city lights glow like little fireflies in the darkness of night, creating a warm contrast to the cool blue of the sky. Small ripples in the water give movement to the reflection, as if the bridge itself breathes with the river. In the foreground stand old wooden piers and ropeworks, memories of a time when the river was a lifeline for shipping, a reminder of the history that still rests in the water.
Under a starry sky, the bridge becomes more than a structure – it becomes a portal between the mundane and the infinite, a poetic encounter between man-made precision and the eternal tranquility of nature.
