Posts: 212/257		 LizardKing,

I like this bridge here

http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilde:IMG_0635a_-_Hadselbrua_fra_B%C3%B8r%C3%B8ya.jpg

I like how it turns at the one end. Looks really neat.

Posts: 361/511		 Where I come from, there's quite a good deal of bridges, and three of them are among the 20 longest Norwegian bridges, but it's not very impressive, since they are only # 19 (Sortland Bridge - it connects my hometown (Sortland) and the rest of Vesterålen to Hinnøya island.) # 17 Tjeldsund bridge - it connects Hinnøya to the mainland.) and # 15 Hadsel bridge - it connects Hadseløya island to Langøya island, which is connected to Hinnøya again, by the first bridge I mentioned.

Norway's second longest bridge Nordhordlandsbrua is not very far from where I currently live (Bergen), but I haven't lived here for very long yet, so I don't know where excactly this bridge is. I just learned about it now through wikipedia.

We don't have any bridges around here though. Some dude burnt them all down during the Civil War.


Take a 8 hour trip to New York just to see the Varizano bridge, trust me, it worth it.

Thanks! That clears up a few questions!


By the way everyone, what do you think of this?

Posts: 821/1312		 A little comparison (filename of the original hosted file renamed to abridge.bmp for convienence): 
-rw-r--r--   1 mike  mike   1.9M Sep  1 18:41 abridge.bmp

-rw-r--r--   1 mike  mike   107K Sep  2 16:44 abridge.jpg

-rw-r--r--   1 mike  mike   942K Sep  2 16:43 abridge.png

Notice even a real PNG is over twice as small as the original, but not a good format for that particular image. The JPEG at 75% quality is a mere 107K, about 5% of the original filesize and it still looks nearly identical.

Attached is the JPEG version of the image, it might be nice to edit hte first post to this so that you don't waste everyone's time with a mal-named BMP.

Only Nazis use .bmp. Are you a Nazi?

Also you have to choose JPEG or PNG when you save the file. Just naming it image.png isn't enough in most cases.

Posts: 5699/6737		 I remember hearing about that bridge's construction a few years ago, but I didn't remember it until reading the wiki. Pretty cool looking. The only big bridge in CA that I can think of is the Golden Gate Bridge, which Randy already linked to.

Posts: 464/726		 Biggest bridge in milwaukee: Hoan Bridge.

I though it would be art because its design. Kinda like CAD...

We have some other neat bridges in milwaukee but there not big or anything.

Posts: 714/861		 Pretty cool!

If that strait of gibraltar bridge ever gets built, it will be awesome. (10 miles in length and over 3000 feet high!)

Posts: 199/257		 Man, I feel dumb!

I have no idea(seriously) what you guys are talking about.(I am very computer illiterate)

Did I do something wrong?

Posts: 3147/5072		 FYI, that's actually a BMP image renamed to .png. An actual PNG created is MSPaint from that image is ~1.2MB, though Paint seems to make bloated PNGs.

Either way, he makes a good point - as a JPEG (also in MSPaint) it's a mere 180KB, and looks just as good (since the original looks like crap anyway).

That file is nearly 2 MEGS which took him forever to DL and it looks like shit ANYWAY! By the way, the bridge is the Millau Viaduct and you should have known that since it is the largest bridge in the world. Have a nice day.
