Bosphorus Bridge - Red or Blue?

[batmura]

Here are two shots of the Bosphorus Bridge here in Istanbul, Turkey. This bridge is very important in that it is the only bridge connecting two continents, Europe and Asia in this case. This was shot from the Asian side about 20 minutes after sunset and any C&C would be appreciated.

Prefer the crop of the blue one.

Partly because of the "S" shape of the road.

Is it alternatively lighted in red and blue, or perhaps in green too ?!

Good night !

Thanks, Thierry. Yes, it is alternately lighted indeed, and green is one of the colours as well. My favourites have always been the deep red and blue, but many people here prefer the shades of green and turquoise it seems.

Yes. Gotta exercise the viewers' eyes a bit.

It's a tough one. I also prefer the blue one but not because of the blue lights… The wider framing gives more room.

Both nice.
