Pont Van Gogh

This bridge is along our canal bike path.  We cycled past it this morning.  The site is famous because of Van Gogh's painting, but the original bridge no longer exists.  This one has been re-created as a tribute to Van Gogh and his painting.  Today no one was visiting the bridge.  The last time we cycled by, a painting class was sitting in the shade painting whatever they saw in front of them.  Many people were too intimidated by the odd structure of  Pont Van Gogh, and instead painted a second bridge which is just behind it.
