I thought about participating, but it seems rather pointless now. We don't have many bridges here. :(

I curse that day, since I left my camera at home and had to take that picture with my phone (I nearly forgot about it).

It's the skyline of Dresden, Germany and on the right there's a Bridge! :D I think it's the "Augustusbrücke". It's not really the main object of the image, but I hope it's bridgy enough to participate. :oops:

It's just not the bridge which is incredible. :(

Also I've just seen this which is such an intriguing photo. Amazing stuff Anders.

It's even better live. And the dream view is with a boat in the aqueduct while a train passes on the rail bridge (and possibly a steamer out in the lake)...

Agreed - see this.

Would have made the shot far better. But oh well.

Have you been on the loopy juice? I've never seen you use an exclamation mark in a post before. Prick.

In fairness I feel the same about this picture
One of these wouldn't have gone amiss. Would have added some contrast to a very grey surroundings.

Week to go chaps. Amazing entries so far! Looking forward to organising all these :)


My entry is an oldie from my Norwegian adventures. Don't have any other ones from bridges apart from this one.
Taken under Alta Bridge which runs over Alta River in... well, doesn't take a genius to guess the town.

In light of my adventures yesterday, I'd like to withdraw my previous entry and submit a new, likely more relevant, picture. Might be a hopeless change, but we'll see. :lol:

This is the Vance Creek Bridge just before sundown.

Seeing all these beautiful and simply amazing entries, I'm almost thinking to retire my entry not to get embarrased!

Guys, plain and simple amazing works from all of you. :bow:

Hey all. Thanks for entering this month :)

I'll be setting up the voting and wiki during the day today. I have some uni work to do as our final deadline is this week so my apologies in advance if there is a delay.
Anyone else who wants to jump into the competition last minute, please do so very soon ;)
