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.

The Laguna Verde covers an area of 1700 ha, and a narrow causeway divides it into two parts. It is at the southwestern extremity of the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve and Bolivia itself. It has mineral suspensions of arsenic and other minerals which renders colour to the lake waters. Its color varies from turquoise to dark emerald depending on the disturbance caused to sediments in the lake by winds.
In the backdrop of the lake there is the inactive volcano Licancabur of 5,868 metres (19,252 ft) in elevation, which is a nearly perfect cone. It is believed that an ancient crypt used to be at its peak.
Icy winds are a common phenomenon there and lake waters can attain temperatures as low as -56 degree C but because of its chemical composition its waters still remain in a liquid state. It is 30 km away from Palques Lake.
***
"Licancabur" Volcano derives from the Kunza words used by the Atacameño people to refer to the volcano: lican ("people", or pueblo) and cábur ("mountain"); thus, "mountain of the people". It is also known as "Volcan de Atacama" and "Licancaur".

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!
