The Erasmus Bridge affectionately called ""the Swan"" , is more than just a connection between the north and south sides of Rotterdam. She has become the symbol of the city - elegant , powerful and always moving , When evening falls and the blue hour paints the sky in soft shades of pink and purple , the bridge shows her most poetic side . At this moment . between day and night , Rotterdam comes to a halt for a moment . The bustle of ships and cars''s enveloped in a calm light that makes the Maas a mirror of colours . Behind the bridge rise the most beautiful residential towers and the iconic silhouette of the Euromast - silent witnesses of a city constantly looking ahead . The picture shows what makes Rotterdam so unique ; a metropolis with guts , built on water , where architecture and horizon meet . The soft light of the sky contrasts with the sleek lines of steel and concrete , and it is in this contrast that the beauty of this scene lies .
This image is not only a representation of a place , but also of a feeling ; coming home to a city that proudly tells its story .
The Erasmus in the blue hour is an ode to connection , to renewal , and to the silent magic that descends over Rotterdam every evening .
