This has to be one of the coolest bridges I have seen! Any idea where it is?

If you all want, show us more bridges!!

(I thought about putting this in the Modern Art Forum but I thought it would be ok here)

That is really a neat bridge. Though I dont know where it is. I been to the Golden Gate bridge and though that was extrodinant.

And yeah, this is prolly best in the modern art forum. Ill move it for you.

I'm not entirely sure how this is Modern Art though either -- I take it this wasn't an Aerial Photograph you took?

It is a cool bridge though. Don't think we have anything that big anywhere around here..

In fact, the only bridge I can even think of right now around here is a little bridge over a creek that we walked Mum across... she hates those rope bridges, it freaked her out.

No I didn't take that photo....

So, you have a rope bridge near your house!? I think rope bridges are the coolest!

How high is it above the creek?

At least 25 meters. But it wouldn't matter if it was half a metre above the creek... my mother would still freak out.

I don't know how she did the Tahune Airwalk

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.

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).

Pretty cool!

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

Biggest bridge in milwaukee: Hoan Bridge.

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

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.

As for the filetype, it's the wrong one. When you save an image, you have to choose the type. .jpg is mostly for pictures (such as this one), .png is for smaller images. .bmp is a pain in the ass file, because it is ridiculously large in filesize and takes forever to load (and makes the image look worse anyway, 99% of the time).

BMP doesn't make pictures look worse. It's the same as PNG, but not compressed.

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

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.

Thanks! That clears up a few questions!


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

Damn, big ass bridge right there.

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