A bridge playing hide-and-seek with summer foliage.

As you can see (if you have been following the story), the stream is now pretty much back where it should be though about a foot or so higher than I would like. The rest of the path needs infill but is now ready for an engineer to look at it.

This could also go in forumite spotting, or I saw this and thought of you...

Newton Cap Viaduct, the former railway viaduct between Bishop Auckland and Durham:



It has since been converted to carry the A689 out of Bishop. And to think the council wanted to knock it down to build a whole new structure; only a local campaign saved it.

The old (14th century) bridge was clearly not up to A-road traffic, though it is a very fine bridge in itself:



It was built by Bishop Skirlaw, then Bishop of Durham, though it's been extensively renovated since then. I still prefer crossing at the old bridge, for the extra hills, the thrill of visiting Toronto, and, of course, for the views of the viaduct:

Disused rail bridge across the Sabi River, Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Not far from this bridge were Hippopotomi and Crocodiles.
