Charles Bridge Blue Hour

Last year I packed my tripod to Denmark and never used it. This year I packed it again and didn’t use it until my final night in Prague.

Cape Perpetua

Bridge near Spouting Horn on the Oregon Coast

Today’s photo comes from Thanksgiving Day in 2015 when we spent the night at a friend’s cottage in Yachats.

5-photo photomerge of the Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge and Colorado River from the Arizona side of the Hoover Dam

On our recent trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona from (and to) Vegas we made stops at the Hoover Dam each way. I’ve been to Vegas several times but these were my first trips to Hoover Dam.

Death Eaters Bridge

St. Paul's, City of London School, and the Millennium Bridge

The Millennium Bridge was destroyed by Death Eaters at the beginning of one of the Harry Potter movies. It looked pretty good on the day I crossed it earlier this month. Ironically, the actor who played Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe, went to the City of London School right next to this bridge.

Bridges over the Yodogawa (淀川)

Today’s photo is my random, desktop image of the day. I started looking at it in more detail and came to a strange discovery.

The three bridges on the right are obviously train bridges, the Hankyu Kobe (阪急神戸本線) and Hankyu Kyoto Lines (阪急京都本線) to be exact. In between is an automobile bridge, part of National Route 176 (国道176号). But the bridge on the left was a mystery. Nothing is on it. In fact, it doesn’t seem to be a road at all. Upon closer inspection I could see that it merely connects the two buildings on either side of the river. I dug deeper and discovered that the building on the other side of the river is an NTT building (NTT西日本淀川ビル). So I’m guessing that inside this bridge are a bunch of cables for Nippon Telegraph and Telephone.
