Now those are really nice bridges. Amoung other things I like bridges,statues and train stations.

I would hate to "bang my head" on those "heavy metal" bridges. Pun intended. Maybe that pun shows my age group. :-)

Do yo have a favorite one? From these pictures I think I like "Bardwell's Ferry Bridge" best.

It must be quite an enjoyable experience crossing over this bridge. The surrounding scenery must be lovely too.

Rae said...

Magnificent shots. I bet the scenery in the second photo would make a nice drive.

Valerie said...

I like bridges but hubby will only go across one if he can see the ground either side. Very good pictures, Sunny.

These bridges are fascinating, Sunny! Interesting to compare the structures. I like the oldest one the best.

You would not believe the memories you just brought back of crossing the Bourne Bridge on the way to Provincetown in the 90s...

Beautiful, Sunny. I have always been fascinated with bridges. Is there a waterfall at Shelburne Falls? If so--you need to take a picture for me...

Have a great day.
Hugs,
Betsy

What wonderful bridges, there is something about bridges that scares, but fascinates me at the same time. I always want to close my eyes when traveling over one, but never do, since I want to look below....bit daft eh !

sometimes we forget the metal bridges are pretty too. Thanks for reminding us.
