291st Show & Tell Competition: Bridges

[peterschmidtab]

A bridge spans across a divide. I live on an island linked to another and then to the mainland by bridges. Life here and in many other places would be much different without bridges. They provide efficient movement of people and goods across water and difficult terrain. Some are scenic, most are vital economic links, some are massive and imposing, others are slender and appear fragile, high or low, long or short, ancient or modern, show me your bridges.
