Bah. Had I but known that you were going to post this, I could've photo'd the aqueduct from the train when I went over it on Saturday. Next time...

I could send barakta on a mission. She has a lesser form of psychic paper that works on the local trains (and buses, but we don't talk about those).

One of Beeching's orphans, a rather complicated skew bridge on the M&SWJR. There is someone's driveway on top of it, which must make for a very complicated title to the house.

We also need a bamboo bridge:

this one is a pedestrian bridge in Bogota.

I have driven under but never crossed it. I wondert if it is bouncy or not.

Arnside viaduct, the winter before last when the estuary froze:

That bottom one makes me wince. River shape very obviously produced by flash floods. Housing built *on* the floodplain.

What I hadn't realised is that S Korea is monsoon territory. I saw several instances of bridges going over what appeared to be dry land, but which evidently floods up in the rains. There are embankments (see lower left) and to some extent the shallowness of the river bed is exaggerated by the camera angle.

Rode out to Ironbridge yesterday, so made sure to take a couple of photos for this thread.

Unfortunately, excessive Green Stuff obscures the view of the bridge from the south bank:

Some contrasting bridges this evening.

The A1 crossing of the Tees:

Footbridge over Ulnaby Beck:

...and a ford:

That is one big and scary ford!

I have this image in my head of Arch crossing that, nothing visible but a snorkel and a flag poking out of the water.

My idea of coming back to Darlo that way on the random pub ride was, sadly, vetoed.

There's an even deeper ford of the Tees near Hurworth. Google maps tends to default to that as the shortest route away from Darlo to the south.
