Clifton Suspension Bridge is one of Bristol’s most recognisable structures. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, opened on 8 December 1864.
”Shakkin’ Briggie” (St Devenick’s Bridge) over the River Dee from Ardoe to Cults, Aberdeen - opened in 1837. Funded by Rev Dr George Morison to give 700 parishioners on the north bank access to his church on the south bank (they were crossing the river by boat). You would need more than a prayer to cross on it now!
Finished in 1957, it is 5 miles long and links the two Michigan Peninsulas.
As of today, it costs $4 for a car to cross.
It's open to pedestrians each year on Labor Day.

At 420 feet long, suspension footbridge is southern Ontario’s longest and provides the best views of Georgian Bay and beyond. The suspension bridge is accessible via walking trails.
Being suspended 82 feet above the forest floor provides the illusion of floating among the old growth forest. 360 degree views surround the suspension bridge and with a chain link fence running its length, no view is obstructed.

Literally. It was SO windy this beautiful hawk didn't really move, he was just looking for his supper. I-29 crossing to Minto.
The view from under the Second Severn Crossing (New Severn Bridge) England – Wales. The rails suspend one of the most interesting rides across the Severn, but only for the special few from maintenance and inspection.

Over the Presque Isle River in Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. The North Country Trail goes through the park and this bridge is part of it. It had terrific views of the river and was pretty bouncy!
J’ai été intriguée par le comportement de ce jeune homme qui sautillait très vite, d’avant en arrière, tout près du bord de la rivière. Un regret : j’avais un rendez-vous et je n’ai pas pu lui demander de m'expliquer pourquoi il faisait cela.
I was intrigued by the behavior of this young man, who was hopping very quickly back and forth, right near the edge of the river. One regret: I had an appointment and couldn’t ask him to explain why he was doing that.
I have changed the title and this description in view of the tragic events that have unfolded at the Clifton Suspension Bridge today. It seems inappropriate to be celebrating today but I hope plans will go ahead at the weekend.
Rest in peace Charlotte and Zaani. More resources for mental health are long overdue in this country.
The last of my rushed attempts to photograph the fog in the Gorge on Sunday morning; by the time I had tried to make adjustments for the exposure the fog had pretty much gone. I've tried to eliminate the purple banding in the sky, I hope it's not too noticeable.
