The picturesque bridge in Moscow is one of the most beautiful bridges in Russia and the highest cable-stayed bridge in Europe. It is a miracle of engineering. This bridge is called the bridge a "flying saucer REGISTRY-restaurant".1.5 km in length (almost a kilometer of the route passes completely over the Moscow River), 40 meters wide, 105 meters high (arch height). And the length of the main span is more than 400 meters.

I don't know how to describe the mood of this picture other than the word 'noir'.
I processed the original by Chris Combe from www.flickr.com/photos/cosmicherb70/15092861213/ to desaturate some of the blue colours leaving some sort of gunmetal grey/blue feel and that Batman Arkham city look to this picture. I've also played around with the saturation in the bridge added blur to the image and some selective dodging and burning to this photo.
Just another retake on an already awesome looking photo!

Die Tower Bridge zählt zu meinen Lieblingsgebäuden und ist wohl einer der Hauptgründe wieso ich bereits zum zweiten Mal nach London gereist bin.
The Tower Bridge is one of my favorite buildings and is probably one of the main reasons why I am already traveled to London for the second time.

Cádiz
The bridge of the Constitution of 18125 (originally called the Pepa bridge) is a cable-stayed bridge that crosses the bay of Cádiz, giving access to Cádiz from the mainland, being the third access to the city, after the link by the Isthmus of San Fernando and the Carranza bridge. The bridge is the continuation of the Southern highway, forming an integral part of the Access highway to Cádiz, being responsible for it by the Ministry of Development of the state government. The board is divided between the dual carriageway (two lanes in each direction) and another carriageway reserved for public transport.
The bridge began construction in 2008 and was opened on September 24, 2015.6 Once opened, it became the brightest bridge in Spain at 540 meters. Considering the cable-stayed bridges, it would be the third brightest bridge in Europe, after the Normandy bridge (856 m) and the Rio-Antirio bridge (three 560 m spans). The total work consists of the bridge over the bay, with a total length of 3,092m, 1,440 of which over the water, plus the 796m Río San Pedro Viaduct. With the accesses to the bridges, the work extends over 5 km.
The project was written by the engineer Javier Manterola and has been carried out by the Spanish company Dragados. The total cost of the project was 511 million euros.7
The present Stirling Old Bridge was built in the 1400s or 1500s, replacing a succession of timber bridges. Undoubtedly the best-known of these was one that stood nearby in the 1290s, when Sir William Wallace and Sir Andrew Moray defeated Edward I’s forces at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297.
The bridge also played a part in the Jacobite Rising of 1745, when an arch was removed to forestall Bonnie Prince Charlie’s forces as they marched south. The bridge today remains one of the best medieval masonry arch bridges in Scotland.

Happy Monochrome Monday
Yesterday, we had a terrific day of hiking in eastern Dartmoor. On our way back home I simply had to stop to take a photo of this wonderful granite bridge spanning the River Dart. I might have annoyed one or the other driver by parking my car after the bridge in a bend - really sorry about this, but I could not resist! Holne Bridge is from medieval times, has been built in 1413. I like how the bubbles in the river creates those white lines in the long exposure.
#I got the wrong bridge initially, this is not Newbridge but Holne Bridge, a bit further downstream - thanks for letting me know @Rob Dando!
The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge across the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, 9 miles (14 kilometres) west of Edinburgh City Centre. It is considered an iconic structure and a symbol of Scotland (having been voted Scotland's greatest man-made wonder in 2016), and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was designed by the English engineers Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker. It is sometimes referred to as the Forth Rail Bridge to distinguish it from the Forth Road Bridge, though this has never been its official name.
Construction of the bridge began in 1882 and it was opened on 4 March 1890 by the Duke of Rothesay, the future Edward VII. The bridge spans the Forth between the villages of South Queensferry and North Queensferry and has a total length of 8,094 feet (2,467 m). When it opened it had the longest single cantilever bridge span in the world, until 1919 when the Quebec Bridge in Canada was completed. It continues to be the world's second-longest single cantilever span, with a span of 1,709 feet (521 m).
