I love the photos and read your blog and listen to your podcast all the time. Thanks guys!
awesome photos, as usual for the BB.
I have run over all those bridges!
The best part is I have climbed and photographed everyone of them. Legally!
It continues to amaze me how they built these bridges. Great photos and it’s great to see them under construction.
