Weekly Photo Challenge – Bridge Connection

Posted on by 36 comments

I came to Portland, Oregon as a student forty years ago. At that time, there were nine bridges in the Willamette Valley. I had to remember which bridge to take from Milwaukie to downtown Portland, or which bridge to take to get on Interstate 5 to go to Seattle, Washington. Forty years later, there is one new bridge that makes ten bridges in Portland, Oregon. In this post, I include one bridge from Portland. Other bridges are from our travel.

Bridge 1

The St. Johns Bridge is a steel suspension bridge that spans the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, USA. I took this photo from Cathedral Park in the St. Johns neighborhood.

Bridge 2

The Sydney Harbor Bridge is a steel through arch bridge across Sydney Harbor, Australia. My husband and I joined a tour to climb to the top of the Bridge.

Bridge 3

London Bridge, London crosses over River Thames in central London. We only had photos taken by the bridge.

Bridge 4

This Bamboo Bridge is in Lan Tau Island, Hong Kong. It needed attention and concentration to walk across this bridge.

Bridge 5

This Suspension Bridge is in Shenzhen, China. My family and I only walked to the middle of the bridge to have photos taken.

Daily Prompt: Bridge

During one of our China trips, we went to a remote area where there are not a lot of convenient transportation. There was a Chinese Opera coming to town. The town people built a bamboo tent for the performance. A bamboo  bridge was built to help people to go over a small lake to get to the other side where the tent for the opera is. But walking on the bamboo bride is a challenge.
