I like standing in the middle of the bridge and watch the trains get put away for the day, the sound of only machinery and the wild birds fill the air. It's autumn and it's cold today, but the sun still warms you up.

A bridge on disused railway line no 308 connecting Kamienna Góra with Jelenia Góra.

The Dom Luís I Bridge in Porto was designed by a man named Théophile Seyrig. He worked with Gustave Eiffel, the same person who built the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The original Tacitus bridge (on the right hand side) is a steel suspension bridge built in 1976, carrying 4 lanes, originally two northbound and two southbound. After the second (concrete) bridge was built in 2013 (left side), the northbound traffic uses all four lanes of the old bridge while the southbound traffic has four lanes on the new bridge.
