Sorry, I see I started to reply to much older posts. I'll stop that, but now I want to re-look at the whole thread and will. Not all at once, though.

@vonny,
When we lived in Switzerland I met a Swiss lady who just like me did not like heigths. I thought it was just from the flatland. No even in mountian area it happens.

@saab,
I have no fear of heights, but I'm not so sure about novelty bridges like the following -

This is an open railway bascule bridge over the river Ems (close to Weener, Lower Saxony, Germany), with a bicycle lane, pedestrians can use it as well.

Even biggest cruise ships can pass it (there's the Meyer shipbuilding company down the river at Papenburg)

@Walter Hinteler,

It must be open, though. And it wasn't three weeks ago - neither the captain nor the pilot noticed it ...

@saab,
I'm one of the lucky ones - here in the South-East it's relatively dry. As for the rest of the country - dreadful floods - some people have had their homes and businesses flooded up to three times in the past month!

But residents won't give up - here a woman still cleans the inside window of her wine bar as floodwaters rise halfway up the window in York after the the rivers Foss and Ouse burst their banks

and neighbours help out with sandbags

A surfer rides a wave, churned by a winter storm, breaking underneath the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco Bay.

@vonny,
Very interesting - I would have guessed it was a bridge to a museum of modern art. I like it.

@vonny,
Try to find some pictures of the Grand Canyon of hunan. Its some of the most spectacular scenery in a limestone basin in the world. I was there in the 90's an did a geotech survey of the rock for some (undisclosed) construction that would happen ten years later (and this was it I guess) . I was sickened by the way they treated their naturql heritage features. Building this bridge is a real stupid "tourist trap"
