Description
A photo I had taken in 2012 of Pont de Singe, which means “Monkey Bridge”, created by French artist, Olivier Grossetête. He used three enormous helium balloons to float a rope bridge over a lake in Tatton Park, a historic estate in north-west England.
Located in the park’s Japanese garden, the structure comprised a long rope bridge made of cedar wood held aloft by three helium-filled balloons. The ends of the bridge were left to trail in the water. Though visitors weren’t allowed to use the bridge, it would theoretically be strong enough to hold the weight of a person, according to Grossetête.
Taken with the Nikon D5100 and edited on Adobe Photoshop CS6.
