I don't have to tell you, DMT, that wooden strapped arch bridges are fairly common.

there is this pyramidal structure made from three laminated wooden arches
which failed their tests before being placed in what is called the Keystone Wye.

I once worried about Gnome, but he's turned out all right after all.

Here we have a relatively poor example of "entroopy" in bridge building.The group at the far end didn't get the word to stop and vogue, apparently.

HWY 525, heading south.


Because of the currents flowing in and out of Puget Sound, the ferry captains come in hot, and they hit the brakes right about here, bringing the ferry to a gentle stop.



HWY 525, headed north.

Over 14 years working on the Olympic National Park trail crew I got to build a lot of bridges, this one was probably the most artsy. As you can see it is in a pretty vulnerable position so I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it is still there more than 20 years later.

It can be a gangplank or a runway, depending.

The I. B. Perrine Bridge is four-lane truss arch span located at Twin Falls, Idaho.
It carries U.S. Highway 93 over the Snake River Canyon, connecting to Jerome County and Interstate 84.
My friend George took a job up there just recently and posted these on his page.

Excellent aerial shots, Mr Milktoast!

It always blows my mind that Crissy Field was the place they thought would make a good airfield, and that they used it for as long as they did.

Dear Izabelle,
I am having a wonderful time here.
Received your greetings for Mothers' Day.
Thank you. I missed you all so much.
Be good to Harry.
I may come home at the end of this week.
Love, Mother

Pinched from the Norwegian intardnet. But a nice shot, ikke sant?
