nice bridge! It's funny, I looked it up to figure out where it was and found this: [link] and it has almost the exact same photo in it. A pity about all the tagging, people just don't have any respect

Hmmm, gruesome history, but AWESOME PICTURE!!! You centered this masterpiece just right. Reminds me of the places I've been, and the bridges I've crossed.

Haha, so you at last managed to wander into Columbus Junction to find the "Swinging Bridge of Doom". I walked across it myself...barely... It really does feel a bit unsafe, lol...

As you may know, I also have a picture of this bridge in my gallery, but it's so wonderful to see a photo from you on it.
