#Djurdjevic Bridge

[vestaignis]

Мост Джурджевича (Đurđevića Tara) — автомобильный арочный мост, который соединяет два берега каньона реки Тара и одно из самых красивых туристических мест Черногории.

С моста открываются потрясающие виды на самый глубокий каньон в Европе и окрестные горы. Мост Джурджевича это уникальное инженерное сооружение, которое считается одной из самых посещаемых достопримечательностей Черногории. Длина моста — 365 м, высота — 172 м. Конструкция состоит из 5 арок, самая протяженная из которых 116 м.

Мост строился 1938–1940 годах, когда Черногория еще являлась частью Королевства Югославии. Главный архитектор моста — профессор Мият Троянович. Общее же руководство строительством осуществлял главный инженер Исаак Руссо. На момент постройки мост был крупнейшим бетонным арочным мостом в Европе. По нему могли двигаться и транспортные средства, и пешеходы. Современное название Мост Джурджевича происходит от имени владельца фермы, расположенной возле моста.

По мосту можно проехать на автомобиле, но лучше до или после моста сделать остановку и прогуляться по нему пешком в обе стороны, чтобы полюбоваться видами на каньон реки Тара, горами, покрытыми густым лесом и устройством самого моста. Отдельной пешеходной зоны на мосту нет, ходят прямо по дороге.

The Djurdjevic Bridge (Đurđevića Tara) is a road arch bridge that connects the two banks of the Tara River Canyon and one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in Montenegro.

The bridge offers stunning views of the deepest canyon in Europe and the surrounding mountains. The Djurdjevic Bridge is a unique engineering structure, which is considered one of the most visited attractions in Montenegro. The length of the bridge is 365 m, the height is 172 m. The structure consists of 5 arches, the longest of which is 116 m.

The bridge was built in 1938-1940, when Montenegro was still part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The chief architect of the bridge is Professor Mijat Trojanovic. The general management of the construction was carried out by chief engineer Isaac Russo. At the time of its construction, the bridge was the largest concrete arch bridge in Europe. Both vehicles and pedestrians could move along it. The modern name of the Djurdjevic Bridge comes from the name of the owner of the farm located near the bridge.

You can drive across the bridge by car, but it is better to stop before or after the bridge and walk along it on foot in both directions to admire the views of the Tara River canyon, the mountains covered with dense forest and the structure of the bridge itself. There is no separate pedestrian area on the bridge, people walk directly along the road.

Once upon a time that time is supposedly now. Its never ending like I, and all the feelings i’m about to tell you about.

There once was a girl named “I” I got used to living others feelings as if it were hers, she even believed it to be

Day by day she absorbed more than she should and it kept getting heavier than I could carry around.

To this point of the story she still can continue trying to make it all poetic

Yes, I can simply give. Give a definitive ending ?

But I see more and I made it clear she feels more Than she should.

So here is two possible endings from the many I can conjure as an ending to her story…

I either

Realize that none of those lives were hers and all the pearls I glued to herself need to be removed; with each pearl a pieces of her get ripped off

And she is left out more hollow than she used to be.

Cursed to bleed more than she had inside her ; it will never end.

Or

I set roots to all those feelings and stretch all the stories make them grow with branches that could wrap around the moon

To build a bridge and dangle all the stars between,

So I will never end.

The rebirth of golf in the Principality

The 2ndsuccessful edition of the Monaco US Celebrity Golf Cup presented by H.S.H. Prince Albert II, saw the US and Europe teams compete at the legendary Monte-Carlo Golf Club from June 15-18, 2018, with another victory by Team US whose honorary captain is no other than Prince Albert II.

The centenary legendary Monte Carlo Golf Club, located in Mont Agel in La Turbie, was designed by Willie Park, Jr. and opened in 1911, offering an 18-hole golf course in an idyllic setting between the sea and the mountains! The golf course has a rolling terrain that requires extreme precision. (Photo below: View of Monte-Carlo Golf Course, Mont Agel, La Turbie)

The 1st edition of the Monaco US Celebrity Golf Cup took place in June 2016 at Royal Mougins Golf Club, where Team USA won over Team Europe 10-5 on a Match Play. Monaco became part of the 2018 Ryder Cup France initiatives, as the first ever-amateur celebrity Ryder Cup event sanctioned by both the 2018 Ryder Cup France Chairman, and the Ryder Cup European Development Trust.

The Monaco US Celebrity Golf Cup was created to bring back to life the once famous Monte Carlo Open officiated by Prince Rainier III of Monaco and Princess Grace.  This annual golf tournament played from 1984 to 1992 gained international popularity with the participation of many celebrities from the U.S. and Europe.  , taking place at the Golf National, a few kilometers away from central Versailles, September 25-30, 2018.

The goal of the Monaco U.S. Celebrity Golf Cup Association is to organize and protect the brand of the world’s most prestigious amateur celebrity Ryder Cup event held every two years in the Principality.

An idea whose time has come

It was always interesting to know how a budding idea discussed among friends became a reality. Susan Feaster, Chairperson of the Monaco US Celebrity Golf Cup, shared with Monaco Reporter that the proposition to revitalize golf in Monaco was proposed to her by former French Ambassador H.E. Hugues Moret, during a dinner at Philippe Laik legendary Chateau Tardieu, while visiting Monaco working for Ryder Cup France 2018. Moret believed that an event could be organized in Monaco connected to the Ryder Cup France. Susan reponded that Ryder Cup France involved US and of course France but not Monaco, to what Moret enthusiastically replied: “But the Monte-Carlo Golf Club is on a French mountain!” So Susan agreed to consider his suggestion and the rest is history.

Susan explains: “The idea was to have a Celebrity event in Monaco between well known personalities who happened to be excellent and passionate golfers.  We would honor Ryder Cup France 2018 and follow the real Ryder Cup “experience” as close as possible for amateur golfers.  Only professional golfers can play in a Ryder Cup Match, so this event gave amateur celebrity golfers the experience to play golf and represent their countries on Team USA or Team Europe.”

Susan added: “This became a non European Tour event serving as the private golf event for H.S.H. Prince Albert II.   The official title is “The Monaco U.S. Celebrity Golf Cup Presented by H.S.H. Prince Albert II”

Of course you require a team of committed people on both sides of the ocean, plus the contribution from generous sponsors, to advance this great idea and make it into a reality, but above all you need a passionate and relentless chef d’orchestre like Susan to bring everybody together and go for it! Susan is grateful for the ongoing help of everybody involved, including her two children Nicole and Nicolas, because she believes that as a leader you are as strong as the team around you!

Over the weekend, Grizot commented, “A golf game is the best school of life. One day you’re on top of the summit and the next, at the bottom.” Grizot was also named Personality of the Year on March 16 for his leading role in France’s candidacy for the 2018 Ryder Cup.“I am very proud,” said the Vice-President of the French Golf Federation (FGF). “This winning bid was a great moment and I think having the chance and honour to host the Ryder Cup in our country will help us develop golf. An adventure that would never have been possible without the support of clubs and licensees.”

The Master of Ceremonies of the Awards Gala Dinner was no other than world famous saxophonist Kenny G, who delighted the guests with his music and was one of the celebrity players in this top class golf event.(Photo: Susan Feaster presenting Kenny G during Gala Dinner@Nancy Heslin)

Kenny G’s testimonial sums it all up: “The Monaco U.S. Celebrity Golf Cup is an experience like no other. For us amateurs who watch the Ryder Cup and dream about what it would be like to represent your country in an event like that, the Monaco U.S. Celebrity Golf Cup is the event that let’s us experience this! And the atmosphere of camaraderie sets the stage for making invaluable relationships with our European counterparts in the entertainment, business and Sports World. “

As a result of the success of the sponsorships, H.S.H. Prince Albert II presented a check on behalf of the Monaco U.S. Celebrity Golf Cup in the amount of €50,000. In addition, a “Green Golf” gift was presented to the Prince Albert II Foundation for environmentally enhanced golf course construction and sustainability. (Photo: Prince Albert with Kenny G and Pascal Grizot, Chairman Ryder Cup France 2018 presentation @Nancy Heslin)

Susan further explained: “Like the Ryder Cup, the golfers (Celebrities) are not paid to play in this event and win no prize money.  It is the Highest of Honors in Golf.  Higher than an Olympic honor, the golfers (Celebrities) must be invited to play based on their skill of golf and their personal integrity as a sportsman.  The Ryder Cup is the only golf event that is a Team event, not an individual sport.”
