bridge

RO&AD, an architectural firm whose name sounds very much like a quote from an intoxicated Chris Farley, recently designed The Trench Bridge. A pedestrian foot path designed to make us rethink the way we look at bridges, this one crosses the moat in front of Fort de Roovere in Halsteren. A neat concept, but one that would only be applicable on a small scale to bodies of water that stay at a constant depth.

Actually, it doesn't look that troubled. Also, it's more like "through" troubled water, not under it.

Or right. Or behind you. In fact, you should probably just close your eyes all together.

C'mon, do it! Try to cross it! Channel your inner Felix Baumgartner!

Three Department of Public Works employees painting a bridge over a creek. Two of them set up a work platform made out of two stepladders and a plank. The third, a little smarter that those two and probably a supervisor, elected not to use the work platform and erected his own stepladder in the creek. At least they have their hip-waders on.

You never know when a pedestrian-on-pedestrian collision might occur. It's always best to be prepared.

I saw this in a movie once, The Temple of something. Pretty sure everything turned out okay. ~Not-So-Handy Andy

I'm afraid if I saw this IRL my brain would go into video game mode and I would just go for it.
