I love the 1/3 land to 2/3 sky split.
The lone tree and rugged landscape stand out against the brooding atmospheric sky, just brilliant OY.

Two words came to mind when I saw the photo for the first time. They were White Sands. Not sure if anyone will understand why though.

There is a White Sands that is far more famous, or is it infamous. The site of the Trinity project. The result of that changed the world forever.

White Sands, New Mexico.

It is. From the Toll Booths, which are only on the Swedish side, the road rises up over the bridge. At very roughly th halfway mark, it descends again to enter a tunnel.

Its a nice piece if engineering, but unfortunately flawed. Lighting in the tunnel is far below par, and the actual bridge iften has either restrictions, or is closed due to the Scandinavian weather. Its possible to download an app that informs of the problems. People would be surprised as to how often they occur.
