The story of a bridge

Good Sunday dear Friends and Photography Lovers, I wish all mothers a happy Mother's Day 🙌📸💕

Today I have in my post a story about a bridge on the Dobra River towards Karlovac County, in a place called Lipa. Namely, five girls lost their lives on December 26, 1916 in the swollen Dobra River, and the post includes a photo with a caption about it, with their names. It is a locally known tragedy from the village of Vodena Draga (a hamlet near Lipa). The story goes that the event was related to a crossing over the Dobra River at a time when the bridge was not yet completed. In winter torrents, the Dobra can be extremely dangerous — it rises suddenly and carries everything in its path, so the old people here say. It is interesting that the plaque connects the beginning of the construction of the bridge and the tragedy — which often means that this very event was probably one of the reasons or accelerations for the construction of a permanent bridge.

So, let's go see together!

This is a memorial to the girls who died with their names

And next to that memorial is a bench where a couple left a sign of their love

I took the photos with a Nikon D750, 50mm lens, f/1.8, manual mode, RAW format required, variable ISO and shutter speed. Processing in Photoshop - Camera Raw Filter.

And, this is all for Today, see you soon dear Friends!
