more on that bridge

Because I have more pictures of the Millau Viaduct from the prior post, taken when we got closer to it and visited the information office, which is rather a small museum, with detailed information, a film about the making of the bridge, souvenirs, etc. The perspective from down below is breathtaking and the clean and sleek design simply amazing. (Click to enlarge)





I took all these pictures last July with a post in mind (!), little did I know Alice was going to host the photo challenge Bridging the Gap this week - another addictive challenge! Thank you, Alice, it has been fun looking for bridges and I realized I like them as a subject for a picture, that's why I found many in my archives. So many, some of them didn't even get a chance to be published. Maybe for an upcoming photo challenge!

  1. This is a very beautiful bridge, Mar, and one of the things I most love about it is that it has taken up very little of the land to have it standing there. The traffic can go whizzing wherever it needs to go without violating the land.

    I'm very glad you are enjoying this Photo Challenge. Would you like to have it go to a weekly meme? I'm playing with that thought, though so far have made no decisions on it.

  7. It really is a stunning bridge! I'd like to see a picture of the road part of it too -- it appears there are NO railings on this bridge? Scary!

  9. I think the only thing more amazing than the bridge is your beautiful pictures of it.

    Do you win prizes for all the great pictures?

  14. Millau is not that far across country from my parents and I was completely in awe when I visited BUT some cousins of my parents went who apparently thought "oh just another bridge!" I think they must have been on drugs ;o)
