Awesome bridges John! Humankind would have had a different history if they didn’t know how to build bridges - physically and metaphorically .

In reply to pattimoed.Thanks, Patti. I have some great architectural examples of buildings in my gallery as well but thought focusing on one type would be unique. By the time I was done with the post, I had to edit out 400 words. Sometimes I get a little too wordy... like in this reply. >grin<

In reply to Wind Kisses.That visitor center is truly impressive. We spent much of a day in and around the mountain.

In reply to JohnRH.Interesting factoid about the tower bridge. The new London Bridge is pretty much a concrete vehicle bridge. Not much romance there, but at least it's not "falling down." :-)

Hi John. Great idea to focus on bridges. I really love the abandoned bridge and the bridge to nowhere! You have many wonderful examples here.

Fantastic and unique interpretation of Buildings and Other Structures, John. As always, wonderful history gaining from your post. I particularly liked the photos of the Fairview Bridge and the Highland Bridge. And I am glad you included the Spirit Lake Highway. It should be a bucket list for everyone since it ends with the St. Helens Visitor Center. And while I know you focused on bridges, the glassed visitor center is quite impressive too, isn’t it?

Wow. GREAT post John. No ‘troubled waters’ that I can see! I lived in Lost Wages for a time in the previous century but haven’t been back to see the bypass bridge over Hoover Dam. Per Wiki and the London Bridge in Lake Havasu, AZ, which I heard ages ago: “There is a popular rumor that the bridge was bought in the mistaken belief that it was London’s more recognizable Tower Bridge,[9][10][11] but the allegation was vehemently denied by both McCulloch and Ivan Luckin, who arranged the bridge’s sale.[8]”
