    Time for a change

    My new avatar is the railway bridge in my hometown lit up at night.

    It might be my vision but it's a little hard to recognize the avatar as a bridge. The small size of our avatars require a contrast particularly between light and dark colors.

    yep,

    That's why I posted this big picture. Beautiful isn't it?

    The bridge was built in 1847 and still takes modern rail traffic all day.

    Cool, a bridge from the past to the present, and indefinitely into the future.

    Nice. Modern materials allow amazing construction but somehow they never capture the elegance of the older ones and I suspect they were far more impressive feats of engineering - I mean, how do you lay bricks upside down? LOL

    Love it, and it is a RAINBOW of colours too, which has great resonance in the U.S. right now! Beautiful!

    Cool! Beautiful. Inspiring. Kind of reminds me of a Roman aqueduct. Both are amazing feats. How did they do that it in 1847? Is it concrete? Brick or stone and mortar? If concrete, I wonder whether they used steel reinforcement back then.

    Mesmerizing image. The small thumbnail makes it look like something coming out of a sci-fi book. Nice!
