Erik Tjallinks from Netherlands

This one I find the most fascinating up to now, one can feel the tension! Oh, how I love these old remnants of past engineering, I hope the bridge will be put on the monument list to be preserved forever.

@Erik Tjallinks: It is being perserved by the historical society!!! and they do a great job at upkeep, as you can see from the bright beautiful red color!!

Mike Cash from Kiryu, Japan

A very bright and delightfully "busy" photo! Looks like the bridge was designed by an if-two-is-good-then-four-is-twice-as-good kind of engineer.
