Whoa the Millau Viaduct looks gorgeous, I gotta take a ride through that the next time I visit France!
It is absolutely stunning! Beautiful lines!
Hey Henway
yes, the bridge is breathtaking! Poetry in concrete form
Karoline, I love it too!
I really adore those bridges. In fact, bridges are fascinating structures to me.
Indeed they are! Bridges never fail to give me an overwhelming feeling every time I put my feet on them, especially those made from wood (the very old ones). Now, I remember the bridge scene in the movie, Van Helsing. It’s really exciting! But still, I appreciate bridges even in photos. They are just wonderful man-made creations.

This bridge is breath-taking! Been to Singapore and loved how their Henderson bridge glows at night and fascinates everyone who passes by.
hey Andrew
thanks for letting me know about that bridge! It is so interesting, quite nice from the inside, but not from the outside…
Totally awesome. Especially that one covered in clouds.
This is absolutely stunning. It looks very beautiful and I must say the architect and engineer really did the job well. There are so many beautiful bridges all over the world and this is definitely one of them.
glad to hear that you like it…
the simplicity they achieved, delivered the highest quality of engineering as well. it shows so precisely that those two things go hand in hand
