@vonny,

Interesting country; their only problem is that their university education is free, and once they get their professional degrees, they move to another country where they can earn more. I went to a concert by myself and really enjoyed it.

Their concert hall in Malta.

And why that whole area came to be known as 'The Black Country"....

@Lordyaswas,

I love ceramics, glazes and kilns, sad they are such a pollutant.

One of my favourite bridges, Sigmund-Thun-Klamm, Kaprun, Austria.

@vonny,

Austria has dozens of pretty Klamms (ravines). And certainly the Sigmund-Thun-Klamm is a very pretty one!

Two of my sisters-in-law live close to a geological museum in Styria, which has a very nice Klamm with several old and new bridges as well

@Walter Hinteler,

They're fascinating. I doubt if they are wheelchair friendly though!

Here's the Helium balloon suspended bridge by Olivier Grossetête in Tatton’s Japanese garden in the UK.

Quite a few are (there are special guide books for such) - I haven't seen the wheelchairs only indoors in the museum, too Wink

Your favourite Siegmund Thun Klamm is suitable for prams and wheelchairs in many parts as well!

You could hang the wheel chair from a tree and catapult them across. Smile
