The High Level Bridge, Lethbridge Alberta, Canada. Shot from directly underneath in the midst of near waist high damp undergrowth that was pleasantly inhabited by rather large mosquitos.

 

Construction of bridge began in August of 1908, and the bridge was completed June 22, 1909 and officially opened on November 1, 1909. It cost $1,334,525 to build. This bridge is still the longest and highest of its kind in the world reaching 5,327.625 feet long (1.6km) and 314 feet high (96 meters).
