Oh gosh ... I'll be on the road for part of October, and will be on the lookout for bridges!   Driving through the Rocky Mountains should provide a few opportunities.

YIKES! Not many bridges in this area.....if any. hmmm.... But it is a good subject anyway. THank you for the challenge.

I hate bridges! This one ain't gonna be fun :)

Great kick-off Costa! I like the Amtrak bridge... Fascinating!
Glad to hear the 20y Bay Bridge is nearing the end of constructing!!!
Great shots!

On a road trip last week I shot this coming from Wisconsin to Lansing Iowa going across the Mississippi River. No place to stop so I shot through the windshield.

Royce

wow, big bridges you have over there big stuff from costapanos and driving feeling by Digitaleagle! thank you... have to look for a bridge....

Same bridge as the last shot taken from a vantage point on the side of a hill over looking Lansing Iowa and the Mississippi River.

Royce

this bridge mediaval gone over the river  called "Julia"- still used by car! the origin was romain- because the romains comes from Roma over the mountains in this region. the picture i taked avril 2010, sorry, not from today..

@ Digitaleagle - that first shot is mind-blowing! I just love the POV and considering that it was shot while driving makes it even more special... I love the reflection on the car's hood!!!
Excellent to see it in perspective in the second shot! Well done indeed!!!

just beautiful wood bridge and flora around, looks like a wonderful place!

Back in time with this post, this bridge was built back in 1883 and still stands in it's origanial location. No longer used,  a new bridge has been built to the east of this one. This bridge was featured in the movie Bridges of Madison County. These bridges was the focus off my road trip, It's pretty awesome to stand inside the bridge and feel the history. Ledgon has it that this bridge is hunted.

Royce

Marvelous! These covered bridges fascinate me!!

Jeroni, that is wonderful!

 I love bridges! I shall have to get out on the back roads this month! Unfortunately it can't be this weekend.  I can pass on a tip right away though.  Anyone that wants to see a great shadow of a bridge, Google Map "Sunshine bridge, Louisiana"  and click on "Sunshine Bridge, St. James, LA 70086".  My Mom told me about this bridge which was an early "bridge to nowhere"  When I looked it up, I saw this great shadow.  The pictures on Wikipedia are great too.  I'm going to visit that bridge, hopefully the next time I go to Baton Rouge!

Wow!!! Stunning pictures so far!  Wonderful variations, reflections, points of view,  and  gorgeous shots!  I can't wait to see more! 

 I was thrilled to see my shot in such superb company!

Congratulations to all of you for the beautiful images you have attached.
Unfortunately, I have no pictures of bridges... maybe someone took many years ago, I should go searching through CDs scattered around the library!

Here is my bridge....taken at Mondo Verde last Sunday

nice pictures already added

Hi friends. Havent got ebots from this challenge for ages. But now I found a single bridge I captured few days ago. Not very charming, but a bridge it is 

Congratulations to all the authors for the beautiful photographs of bridges included. At the moment I do not have recent photos with this subject. In next week I go away for a few days (three quarters) to Brescia and I have the idea where to go find some pictures. Good week to all.Mario

Here's one of a reasonably local bridge near where I live - hope you all like it :-)

I'm not homophobic - I love my house!!!

Helle - well done! I like your overpass bridge! It shows you were thinking of us when driving there!!!

Rockstrider - Marvelous composition! I love the railway line included in the lovely arched bridge!
(btw - I LOVE your little message at the bottom!!!!!!!! )

@ rockstrider: beautiful bridge near railway, fits great together!

Thank you Carin and Priska for your kind words.

The arched bridge was originally a viaduct - a bridge carrying another railway across the river and foreground tracks. The viaduct has been disused now for many years but has been made into a footpath and cycle route that can be followed for miles, safely away from busy traffic. The railtracks in the foreground are still in use.

Carl

great, my admiration for viaduct's is great,  mostly the romains incredible how old they are!

Absolutely amazing pictures all!  My first image isn't from October but it is unusual so I hope I'll be forgiven for slipping one in from my trip to New York City last spring.  I tried to find the name, but have not yet found it.  It was taken on my last full day there on a boat trip around Manhattan Island. 

This one is from October and from San Antonio.  There are a lot of new highways in San Antonio and the shapes of some of them are very pretty.  My son was driving when I took this shot.  I hope to get out into the Hill Country next weekend to get my last shot.

I found the New York City bridge.  It is the Spuyten Duyvil railroad bridge. 

One from the archives ... I'm flying out in the morning, and probably won't be getting a lot of opportunity to take any interesting bridge shots before the end of the month!   If I do, I'll be sure to let you know.  :P

This is the Deception Pass bridge between Whidbey Island and Fidalgo in Washington State.  180 feet high, built in 1935.  It's heavily used ... I just got lucky and got a shot with no vehicles!

Excellent shot Tara! Wonderful POV and combination of bridge and foliage!

Lots of pretty spectacular shots here so far!  :)  I've been looking every day ... excellent stuff!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

@ rockstrider - thank you for the great info! Is a great idea and use for the lovely structure.

@ myrrhluz - wow - what lovely image! The New York bridge is fascinating but those overpasses are just magnificent! SO well seen and photographed. Thank you for sharing with us.

@ Tara - Oh Hun - what a marvelous image of this wonderful steel bridge. The composition is so good and the greenery and flowers renders it in a softness that is rare for a structure of this nature! Well done indeed!

Late again! Such stunning bridges already posted!

This is one Carin might recognise, seeing as she stayed in a hotel right there earlier this year.  It is a small bridge at the entrance to a marina at the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town.  They raise it to allow the yachts through.
Clive
 

Beautiful night capture!  Wonderful  reflections!

Beautiful night capture!  Wonderful  reflections!

Beautiful night capture!  Wonderful  reflections!

@ myrrhluz - great bridge captures and both so very different. Is the New York bridge a floating one of some sort or does part of it swing out to let boats past?

@ Tara - beautiful green bridge and love your composition! The flowers in the foreground work so well as they lead the eye into the pic.

@ Clive - lovely night shot of this illuminated bridge!

---

has anyone when commenting on images in the gallery, whilst writing "great shot" hit the "i" key instead of the"o" (which are right next to each other) by accident??? Very emarrassing if you dont realise in time!!! lol

Thanks rockstrider! 
It is a swing bridge with piers that rest on pile formations in the riverbed. 

I just want to say i have seen all the wonderful bridges and i think they are awesone.
I cannot point out one from another this time. TOO many gorgeous specimen. :)

Helle

I see really nice posts here..I am still looking. The best local one is already an older gallery image and I need a new bridge..and, .not shooting my dental bridges, no way.

TomDart will somehow find a bridge worthy.

Tom.. Thanks for the morning laugh.

Now there's a thought... the bridge between my molars!

Here is another one at the V&A Waterfront.  This one is a pivot pedestrian bridge which swings out of the way for yachts and vessels going into the dry docks.  I timed the shot as the bridge swung past me to get it head on.  The concept is similar to myrrhluz Manhattan Island bridge.

Clive
 

Excellent!    I love how my eye travels down the bridge to the people.  Great timing!

Clive, is that a suspension bridge?  ;-)  Awesome shot.

Hi Helle,
it is a suspension bridge which pivots at one end.
Cheers,
Clive

Ha! I thought I was joking

Oh my goodness - in just 24hrs I have missed so much!!!

@ Clive - Oh I do so recognise those bridges at the V&A!!! Wonderful images! I love the night shot and the timing on the second one is perfect!

@Tom - LMAO - Come on! Be a sport and photograph and post your dental bridge!!! 

Well done everyone!!!

My last bridge to cross...

I found this wooden footbridge across a stream in Tokai forest, guarded by this bee. Or so I thought...

Actually he was one of the many toy characters strategically placed to lead party children to a hidden stash under some branches and leaves.

Clive
 

Oh Clive - this is precious and spot on! I LOVE the image. Cute little self made bridge and the bee is a star! I initially thought you photoshopped it in! Just marvelous!

HEHEHE!!  Awesome :-)  I like that bridge. Reminds me of my early childhood. We had vacation in a tiny cottage near a little wood and there were little streams with such bridges over. I loved that place.

One from the archives!  This drawbridge is in Miami... I cannot remember whether I shot the bridge or the yacht!!

Cute shot and great POV.  I like that the grass is towering over the guard.  I thought it was photoshopped at first too.  Wonderful little bridge!

Great capture with the boat coming through!  Beautiful light and shadows!

A recent image is wanted...so far my only bridge comes from a pc now hiding in some covered place in this home, somewhere downstairs with the camel crickets.  I used an old Minolta DImage F100, bought for eBay stuff.  The picture was aged a bit and ghostly soldiers placed in the woods, near where they were in the fighting at the bridge in 1862.   This was likely one of my earliest attempts to manipulate a photo.

The bridge is over Antietam Creek, near Sharpsburg, Maryland. This area was made infamous by a battle in the Civil War in America known in the north as Antietam(named after the creek as was custom) or after the nearest town, Sharpsburg in the south(as was custom).

I always feel a tear at my heart and a tear in my eyes when considering these terrible battles.  This one September 17, 1862 produced the bloodiest day in American combat history with over 23,000 casualties.   All were sons of what was the same country prior to the war.

I will put up a bridge from a new photo soon as I get one.

Since I really HAVE tried with new shots of bridges, but only came up with one, I have desided to show you two older shots of bridges. Here is one from the looong bridge from Zealand to Funen in Denmark. Storebæltsbroen. 

And here is a completely different bridge. similar to c.fulton´s bridge. I took this shot a few years back, because it reminded me of the little bridges from my childhood.

Lots of stunning crossing coming to light!
Well done, one and all!
Clive

I have a good friend who is from The Netherlands.  She tells me that in Dutch there is a device called a "little donkey bridge."  It's an aid for remembering things.  Like if you want to remember something and you "attach" that memory to something else ... you know how you do!  LOL!  When they do that they call it a little donkey bridge.  Linking one thing to another.

Now how on earth would I take a photo of that?

It makes me wonder if there any sayings in different parts of the world that employ the idea of a bridge ...

I'm loving all the bridge pics!  Excellent work, everyone!

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough."  ...  Robert Capa

Wonderful bridge representation one just as compelling as the other and Tara's memory to remembering bridge,  awesome. A wonderful challenge, that i'm excided to be a part of, thanks to each one for their thoughts and posts looking forward to the rest of the month and the world of bridges not yet represented. Trying to decide which one is my fav. but it's like comparing apples to oranges there so deverse each one with it's on outstanding features soooooooooooooooooo I have to say I like them all. I know that's a political statement but that's my story and I'm stickin to it, LOL :-).

Royce

Tom and Helle - Most wonderful images! The "old" bridge and postwork hits a cord Tom!
That LARGE bridge is pretty impressive Helle and the little wooden 'remember"' bridge is adorable!
Well done all!

The Bridge of San Telmo, the most popular bridge in the city of San Sebastian (Spain)

Wow! How old is San Telmo, makon?

This bridge is built modernist style in 1921
There is an error in the name of the bridge, its correct name is Puente del Kursaal
I'm sorry, I'll correct it now

 

 

Thanks!

  The Bridge of San Pablo replaced an old stone bridge, built between 1533 and 1589, which fell apart, and, likewise, connected the Convent of St. Paul in the village, saving the mouth of the River Hollow. This bridge is located in the city of Cuenca (Spain). One of the most representative monuments of the city.

Princes Bridge of Spain, [1] better known as La Salve bridge is a bridge over the estuary of Bilbao, Vizcaya, Spain.

Its opening was held on January 9, 1972 and its author was the engineer John Batanero. It was designed in the late sixties, to solve the traffic problem, which began to saturate in the north of the city. He was also the first in Spain with bracing system and one of the few with steel deck. Is 23.5 meters in height for the passage of ships, being fixed. It is equipped with lifts from its base in the hamlet of La Salve, at the end of the Campo de Volantín. Along with this bridge, on the left bank of the river, is the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. It is also curious to see how the architect of the museum wanted to integrate, in a sense, this bridge in the same building, for this purpose and on his left side, as viewed from the Campo de Volantín, a tall tower with access stairs Museum, which is on the right.

**There are not many brideges in Sardinia...there are no permanent rivers**

enjoy:)

This is an old one... a different  bridge

@alida - Well, this one certainly is stunning. Great image and thank you for shring with us.

@makron - Lovely bridge and great idea of the architect to integrate it with the Guggenheim Museum.

So many wonderful bridge shots, it is indeed a fascinating subject matter.

I finally got a little time today to go bridge hunting. Found this one between bouts of rain. I would have wandered over to where one can walk over it too but the rain was threatening again and I didn't have my umbrella (left it in the car as I wandered off to get this shot) so I had to pass on that.

Hopefully tomorrow will be brighter and less wet so I can wander some more.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

Will definitely take part in this one... Got a few fairly decent bridges... Watch this space!!

Oeee - that B&W bridge is lovely. It looks like a barrage. Wonderful shot and thank you for sharing!

This was taken at the mighty Storms River mouth in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.

This is one of the 3 Hang Bridges over the river mouth. Results in absolutely spectacular views...

Lots of great bridges here...good stuff guys and girls...

3rd and final... good old Sydney harbour with the famous 'coat hanger' bridge...

seeyus  T

@ Werner - WOW - spectacular bridge and I remember the views from there. Excellent POV and thank you for sharing.

@ Tunde - Love the underside of that wooden bridge. It does look a tad delapidated! The shadow of the 2nd bridge is such a fresh approach and a great POV. Th Sudney Harbour bridge - well - always a stunner. Thanks Tunde!

A few kilometers down the road there's a narrow valley where these two brick bridges are nearly on top of each other. No pedestrians. No autos or trucks. These bridges are for the train that comes to Pirmasens.

I do not know why I thought 'that must be in South Africa' on Werries post...!

Glad I was right!  There is a lot of very interesting work here, especially Tunde's POVs.

Grazie a Maria Concetta  e Carin !!! Ho visto . questo mese , molti bei lavori ! Un piacere partecipare.

Thanks to Maria Concetta and Carin!

I've seen. This month, many beautiful works! A pleasure to participate.

OH WOW !

Havent been here for some days, No ebots, but today I got one and look how many wonderful bridges you have shared. Amazing and so beautiful too.  Bravo! friends.

Helle

It 's a pleasure to see all your works! I only regret not being able to participate in this challenge... I have not yet succeeded in finding the only bridge that I photographed years ago! It was the bridge of the Saracens, a stone bridge dating from the ninth century  on Simeto River, near Catania. Although it is called Ponte dei Saraceni, it's a Norman building.

Attached Link: wysiwig

Ok Carin, since you asked, here is the Tower Bridge from my recent visit to Sacramento, California.  I was there for a Meet-And-Greet with PJ (MrsLubner), her daughter Heather (budweiser_girl), Greg (gemb1) and Costa (costapanos).

Loving all the bridges I've seen on here!

I was out very early this morning to capture a few more myself. (bad neighborhoods, but if you are there just after sun up the "less desirable" elements are not hanging around as they've just gone to bed)

I've passed this one several times and while I have long been tempted to stop and shoot it, I've never once been tempted to take my vehicle over it (or even want to walk it) It doesn't look like it would hold up with all that patchwork on it.

During the week those gates are open though, so someone must drive over it...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

And my last one, can't have a bridge that opens without a bridgekeeper, this one has a pretty interesting looking residence! I'd love the chance to see inside.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless? 

Wow!  I am really enjoying all these bridges!  The one above with the stop sign would have disappeared as scrap metal here...

Clive

My last one will be about 10 minutes late.  Where did October go?  It's not a new one I'm afraid. I just looked at all the beautiful shots! 

 This is The Brooklyn Bridge (already shown wonderfully here) and the Manhattan Bridge.

 

I hope I can squeeze a late one in! I had been meaning to get out to a certain bridge but that never happened, then this morning I thought why not a photo of my own bridge that I built in my back yard, over my imaginary creek, with my little boat coming down with the two kids on it. Of course you cannot see the imaginary stream, though it is quite beautiful, because it is just totally covered with leaves from my very real maple...anyway, here it is...sorry I'm late!

Wayne

 

That is quite choppy water on that river, turbulence created by the leaves! Must be in flood, I hope they remember to duck!

Clive

Those pesky leaves! Always obscuring the view!!!  Neat hand made bridge you have there, Whaleman.
