Stone bridge, Borgerhout(Stenen brug)

This bridge, called “Stenen brug”,  marks the end of Antwerp city.  This is a poor area with empty shops, cheap housing, lots of noise but nevertheless an identity that grows on you. Cities need run down areas, otherwise where could the unfortunates (including artists) live?
