Dawn of “The Day After” runs a monthly architecture challenge as well as her windows. May is the month for Bridges.
I like photographing bridges, many of which have great architectural and historical features, and have done so several times within the topic of a photography challenge. (click on the image to enlarge)

TRAVEL WORDS 
Nice selection Jude! The English ones of course are my favourites 🙂
Of course… though now I come to think of it the Paul Sauer bridge is pretty decent.
Would you believe I had to Google Paul Sauer and when the mighty structure loomed on screen I realised you were talking about the Storms River Bridge. I bunji jumped off it’s smaller cousin the Gouritz River Bridge for my 40th. Paul Sauer was was too daunting 🙂
Ah, I should have said Storm River. It is a lovely bridge. Not that I’d bungee jump from it or any other bridge…
Ah go on girl, put it on your Bucket List. It’s over in minutes anyway 🙂
Not on your nelly!
Wahaaaa. Ok next time you’re here how about Shark Cage Diving then??
Most definitely NOT!
Oh dear. Ok, coffee and a walk it is then 🙂
Sounds good to me, though you could maybe substitute that coffee with a glass of something…
Only one???? Consider it done. Always stocked 🙂 xxx
Good bridges Jude, and it is nice to see some stone ones featured too. My own favourite bridge is Tower Bridge, for obvious reasons of heritage, but I can always enjoy a photo of a bridge anywhere.
Regards as always, Pete. x
I’d have included Tower Bridge but I haven’t got a great photo of it. Next time I am in London I must make sure that I do.
Love that rope bridge….but I wouldn’t want to be walking on it!
Me neither. It didn’t even have a flat bottom, I’d have probably managed to flip myself over the side 😉
With my balance, I probably would….
These are wonderful, although that rope bridge looks a bit too challenging for me!
Me too! I avoided it and walked around to the other side 🙂
Lovely bridge gallery. Jude. I do love the covered bridge. 🙂
Aren’t they lovely? I must write a post about covered bridges some time, I have a few photos.
Please don’t call that one in the Lost Gardens of Heligan a ‘bridge.’ It’s a lovely photo, but it can’t possibly be made to walk across. It could be considered a torture device, or a horrid threat to someone you dislike, or a way to have devilish fun at people with balance issues. But a bridge? No.
Haha, I think plenty of people agree with you, but bridge it is, as it meets the definition “spanning a chasm”. I did see a few people crossing, but it did not look an easy task!
The bridge in your header makes me nervous. The rest of your photos are magnificent. Can’t pick a favorite as each one has its special allure. >-)
Great collection Jude. Hey you’d never guess, but I love bridges too! 🙂
Well, that is astonishing Gilly 😉
Ironbridge has been on my list of want to go to places for a while. It looks like such an interesting place.
It is in a lovely area. Check out Tish Farrell’s posts about nearby Much Wenlock too!
I like the stone bridges best, but they are all attractive. Like just about everyone else commenting, I doubt you would get me on the rope bridge, but I’ve done the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb.
I am impressed. You wouldn’t get me on that bridge climb!
It was fun! We did a night climb (which was actually about 4pm) and it was wonderful looking down on the city in the dark with all the lights shining.
Now I’m really jealous, Anabel! 🙂
