    How would you like to drive across this bridge on a blustery windy day?

    Oh my, Grandpa ... vertigo. Where on Earth is that ? The scariest one I've crawled across was in Luxembourg.

    ( High bridges scare the crap out of me. )

    That 'Bridge' is in France Jamie. I saw a documentary about the construction of it. Built by the Eiffel Co. - the same company that built a tower for an Expo (?) in Paris in the 1800's ..!!

    Very interesting the way that they constructed and then pushed - rolled - each section out from each side of the valley. I think from memory that it stands about 1 Km high (I'm sure that some one can correct me on this.)

    Cheers

    Millau viaduct. Correct about the height (1.125). Norman Foster was one of the architects.

    ... but mind you, it would be very romantic to fly in that beauty, with that spectacular view.

    The best view I have ever had was flying over the Rockies into Vancouver. Seeing the snow tops and lakes was just stunning.

    Thanks Jamie....looks like a B-25, the same sort of bomber that the famous Gen J Doolittle used for the raid on Tokyo in 1942.

    Cheers

    I do not enjoy speaking of myself ... I am here to contribute for others.

    And I speak from the heart, shoot from the lip, and make my own mistakes, come what may.

    I expect from people the same emotions and critical thinking that I show ...

    ... and here, with no intent of embarrassment or breaking of confidences, is the most beautiful gift that I have received in my sweet short life here ...

    So why do I think that ?

    Just because it's beautiful.
