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.

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.
