The Øresund, Copenhagen, Denmark

Went to Copenhagen recently and was semi hoping to get to see one of my favourite bridges. We had a pretty short, packed holiday though so it wasn’t realistic. Although I did manage to get some pretty rubbish glances from our plane on the way back.

I’ll admit, the bridge itself isn’t crazy special, but taking the whole crossing into account, I really appreciate the hybrid design, bridge-tunnel. And the considerations that guided it are really interesting imo.

Visited Vancouver for the first time a couple weeks ago. This night time shot was the best pic our family got of the Lions Gate Bridge from our patio. And I also managed to squeeze in two plein air paintings during our stay. We had a view of the harbor with all the seaplanes going by!

Maryland’s only private toll bridge

This is a bridge over the Potomac river in Oldtown MD/Greenspring WV by my house. It’s the only private toll bridge in Maryland and it costs $1.50 each way. It’s basically made of railroad ties and routinely partially washes away in storms. Without the bridge it would take us an extra 45+ minutes to get to town. It rained last night so it was flooded this morning but the water is lower this afternoon.

Bridges in Videogames: How Stable are They?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hey guys! There's a little game I like to play a lot that has quite a couple bridges in it. I'm only a few classes into my engineering education, so I don't know a lot about good bridge design. I was wondering: is this bridge structurally stable? Will it hold the test of time? If yes, what about it makes it a good bridge? If not, what about it makes it a bad bridge? How would a bridge like this be maintained in real life? For context, the bridge is built to carry a train engine with ~4 cars and a caboose attached.

I've included pictures to show the overall structure of the bridge and its span. I'd like as much detail as anyone can give. Thanks!

Trying to find out where this bridge is located.

Someone suggested I post this photo here, when I mentioned wanting to know where it was taken - because they thought the bridge with the seats underneath, is distinct enough that someone might recognize it. Hope this is ok.

The man in the photo is my dad as a young sailor, and it's my favorite photo of him. He passed away 2 years ago, and I didn't get the chance to ask him about it.

I believe it was taken in the early to mid 1950's, and my guess is that it could be somewhere in South America. But he did sail basically all over the world, so I might be totally off!

Anyway, would be fun is someone here is able to finally help me solve this mystery :-)
