To think it all started with the ingenuity of the Romans. I stand in awe of good engineering.

Girder is my favourite here, beautiful in its simplicity.

These look sturdy. I remember being on a bridge in Jamaica and while a bus was passing by it shook. My friend and I ran….off it…I was so scared.

I like “girder” – both the word, and the photo. I believe that repeating the word “girder” can improve your Swedish pronunciation.

I like the Truss the best of all. There’s something sexy in all those angles. Like a hot geometry teacher…or something.

Bridges still do fascinate me. We had a bridge building competition for a class in Jr. high. I came in 3rd…. I still think of what I could have done differently.

Ah . . . part of my old occupation. Funny though, after getting slammed with all these snow storms, I’m really liking that green stuff in the “Arch” picture. A nice taste of spring . . .

I hope its not a flashback Dan. Yea, I am ready for spring too.

Great bridge shots. Funny thing is all my posts were bridge shots today too. Must be bridge day.

Girder is good! Looks like a painting. I too have a fascination with steelwork.

Crazy how they’re all the same theme and yet all so compltely different.

Yeah, I’m with NM, I really can’t pick a fave. Although if I had to, I’d probably say Girder. I feel like I could almost touch it…

(Nevermind, I just tried and realized I couldn’t.)

Kicktastic stuff, FJ.

Very nice selection, FJ. “Arch” looks like the kind of place you’d rather not be when realizing that the serial killer/reanimated corpse is nearer to you than you thought. (Thanks for the hint, musical sting!)

I had a feeling you would like this one CLT and yes, I did keep an eye out for partially decomposed corpses.

I love that second shot. It makes me think of that show, life after humans, or whatever it’s called… you know the one…on discovery channel. Anyhow, just the overgrowth and seeing the bridge as if it’s an ancient ruin. Of course, if it was an ancient ruin there’d be vines and crap all over the bridge too. Ok, enough with the babbling…lol

Haha, that’s pretty much how I saw it as well. The other two shots were your basic cliches, but this seemed to have a backstory or something. Thanks Amber.
