Photographer's Note
This is a new motorway bridge across the Sδve river in Gothenburg. The official name is "Partihallsfφrbindelsen" but it is popularly called Rφde Orm = Red Orm. This is the title of a well known book by Frans G. Bengtsson about a Viking called Red Orm. The English title is The Long Ships.
Rφde Orm means Red Snake or Red Serpent. The word "orm" is the same as in "worm".
This bridge winds indeed across the river as a serpent (or a worm).
The map view shows the point where I took this photo.

Hej Gunnar
Im glad you decided to show this amazing red monster infiltrating in the landscape near Gothenburg on TE. It is really spectacular with this perfect reflecting to create a double snake.
Fascinating picture
Have a nice day

Hej Gunnar,
Vilken φverraskning, men det δr ju verkligen en iφgonfallande bild vδrd att visa upp. Bron verkar nδstan vara designad fφr att glδdja fotografer, och i det hδr perfekta vδdret blir den ju oemotstεndlig. Sδllan har vδl Sδveεn tett sig sε stilig som hδr.
Hδlsningar,

Hi Gunnar
There's a fine abstract effect here and does look like the curvy motorway bridges are snaking off converging into the distance with your powerful viewpoint & visual perspective. It's very tidy capture, the contrast between vibrant reds and blue is gorgeous while the steely blue water reflections lends this a punchy finish. I find inclusion of the car works fine and wise decision on your part. A cracking shot on a brill day light. Mission accomplished. Congrats
Best wishes

Hi Gunnar
I would guess that to most people, this is an ugly mucky sight but you have created a fascinating graphic engineering photo with an enviable reflection and fantastic contrasting color. Really really nicely seen

Hello Gunnar,
The red colour of the bridges and their pillars is definitely very important for their attraction.
Even more on a clear day when the contrast with a blue sky and the river is the strongest.
Wonderful presentation with the reflections.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Gunnar,
Often enough such bridges are just made of dull looking concrete, but this new bridge is a real eye-catcher with its red colours. You captured the three different parts very nicely together and their reflections in the calm water are wonderful as well.

Hello Gunnar,
There is so much to like about this photo: the red color, the warm sunlight, the great reflections. The POV is excellent, and so is the framing. You captured a very utilitarian subject, and turned it into art. :-)

Hello Gunnar,
How lovely to see you posting again.
This is an eye-catching shot because of its striking colours and sinuous subject.
Red Worm or Red Snake are appropriate names for this motorway bridge.
It was very advantageous to you, as a photographer,that the bridge crosses a river (a very smooth river), for the reflections are quite amazing and double the pleasure of the photograph.
You had a beautiful, clear winter's day for this shot ... excellent.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Interesting red bridge, beautiful from this angle with the good result achieved by the use of the reflection, creating more complex structures in the composition. Well done, congratulations!

Hello, Gunnar!
The strong color of this bridge makes it a very interesting subject for the photo, and the POV is great to show it including its beautiful reflection on the calm water! Excellent colors and sharpness! I prefer the popular name of the bridge, because I'd never be able to pronounce its official name! Very well done!

Hello Gunnar
Nice view of a new motorway bridge across the Sava river in Gothenburg.
An interesting article about the bridge and its name.
Exquisite angle shots and very unusual forms of construction of the bridge and its reflection on the water.
Original composition and excellent idea realized.

Hi Gunnar,
I think drivers are happy with opening this new motorway bridge. Painted with eyes-catching color and you chose perfect time when the water was calm to shot this photo. This way you get an excellent reflection.
Interesting photo with great colors, light and sharpness.
