About this image
Willemstad is the capital city of Curaçao, an island in the southern Caribbean Sea that forms a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Formerly the capital of the Netherlands Antilles prior to its dissolution in 2010, it has an estimated population of 150,000. The historic center of the city consists of four quarters: the Punda and Otrobanda, which are separated by the Sint Anna Bay, an inlet that leads into the large natural harbor called the Schottegat, as well as the Scharloo and Pietermaai Smal quarters, which are across from each other on the smaller Waaigat harbor. Willemstad is home to the Curaçao synagogue, the oldest surviving synagogue in the Americas. The city center, with its unique architecture and harbor entry, has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Queen Emma Bridge is a pontoon bridge across St. Anna Bay in Curaçao. It connects the Punda and Otrobanda quarters of the capital city, Willemstad. The bridge is hinged and opens regularly to enable the passage of oceangoing vessels. On the opposite end from the hinge is a small shelter where an operator controls two diesel engines turning propellers. The propellers are mounted perpendicular to the length of the bridge and allow it to swing parallel to the shore. The process only takes a few minutes to complete.

What my clients say
Very pleased with my order. Everything was as advertised and my order arrived faster than expected. I would highly recommend this.
I came across Adam's work while searching for unique photos of the St. Lawrence River and found a great shot of the Baie-Comeau Bridge. My inquiries were met with a prompt and courteous response from Adam directly who accommodated my color and sizing requests. After an easy purchase, the photo was carefully shipped and arrived in one week. It was very easy and pleasant transaction.
We choose a canvas print from our favorite place to relax- Door County. It’s simply gorgeous and reminds us of more relaxing time preCovid. The service and quality is excellent and would recommend Adam to anyone.
