My Dear Füsun,

Thank you so much!!! Maybe there was a very nice camera in the red bag.. Perhaps I should look for a few other pictures taken on this bridge, and see what I can find!

Love Peter

Hi Rosa

Thank you so much! There were around 8 or 9 of these statues on the bridge depicting various saints, together with one prince with a beer bottle in his hand. Glad you like the inclusion of the building in the background..!

Best Wishes
