Pretty bridges

Both old (like, just celebrated its 75th anniversary old):

Golden Gate in California

And new: Zakim Bunker Hill bridge in Boston. As a mechanical engineer, I appreciate their engineering elegance.

This one is very near here. I really don't much care for the way it looks. I wish they had made it look more like the one is Bahston!

The Kit Bond bridge in KCMO:

Whoa, didn't realize you were in KC. I'm in St. Joe.

That is a lovely bridge.

I didn't realize you were in St. Joe!

The original Paseo Bridge was pretty cool lit up at night, but the Kit Bond bridge is much nicer.

Ah... the Varina-Enon Bridge... I drove over that many times when my father lived in Hopewell.

The Confederation Bridge between NB and PEI:

Here is one that is in Charleston. It is the only pic that I have right now of it. http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s618/kcmurray87/IMG141_zps51a70687.jpg

drove this one in the keys...felt like you were driving to Africa

Simon Kenton Memorial Bridge in Maysville, Ky. My great-grandfather helped secure the funding for the bridge's construction, and as a young girl my great-aunt Jane cut the ribbon for its opening in 1931. So I take a personal interest in this one.

Didn't yinz know, it's quantity that really counts!

Sunshine Skyway bridging Tampa/St. Pete with Bradenton......on a clear evening, you can glimpse this sight from the north shore of Anna Marie Isle.

Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland.....for those who hate suspension bridges.

Cues a funny memory...

My fiance's mother was coming to visit us at our apartment in Pittsburgh. She has no GPS, doesn't travel much, so she got a bit lost and called us looking for directions.

The line was "I just went over the big yellow bridge"

Our response.. "Ummmmm, do you have ANY idea how many big yellow bridges there are in Pittsburgh?!?!?!"

We still crack on her for it.

Maybe not the prettiest, but we went out of our way to experience it.

The Thames river is a great bridge admiring boat tour, if you ever get the chance.

Y'all should go visit Parke County, Indiana.

Also in Indiana.

Anybody else thinking of Konigsberg?

Also, google search "Bridge Builder Game".

This one is not far from me.

I miss old trellis bridges.

Central VA? I forget which road, but either 295, 95, or 64 right by Richmond?

Ok, so not that pretty. I have to represent the bridge that has taken me and my family back to our roots in Kentucky for many family visits.
