Heaven and Earth 6 [Original Photography]

A blast from the past

Dear bridgebuilders,

first constructed between 1896 and 1898 the so called "old rhinebridge", had been the worlds largest arch bridge of it's time. Two month before the end of world war II (in march 1945) the bridge had been blown up by the the armed forces of the Third Reich to make it more difficult for the allied troops to conquer the territories lying east of the river.

After the war was over, the bridge had been rebuild on their old piers (in 1949) and had been called "new rhinebridge" then. At 2nd of december 1963, just 10 days after the assassination of president John F. Kennedy, it had been renamed to "Kennedy-bridge".

"Blown away"

Gustavo "Gus" Fring is a fictional character in "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul", played by actor Giancarlo Esposito, who is named after the former german soccer International Torsten Frings. His death scene in "Breaking Bad" has blown away the fans of the series, who compared his face to that of Harvey Dent "Two-Face" as seen in the film "The Dark Knight".

Moments before dying, Gus manages to calmly adjust his tie even after having half his face blown off. Esposito saw it as an important gesture of "when a person goes to what they’ve always done", in order "to be complete in his leaving this world."

Building bridges

I'm really undecided how to bridge this two images, but for me it looks like Gus stays right under the Kennedy-bridge and while the heaven above the bridge really looks peaceful to me, the hell is just around the corner.

Thanks for watching!
