Hi dpc.
Very interesting architectural shots, new bridge in the style of an older bridge?

Cheers, Graham.

Understory of the Twenty-fifth Street Bridge over the South Saskatchewan River at Saskatoon yesterday afternoon. Not exactly river shots but close enough.

Hi, Valvebounce! Actually it's an old bridge in the style of old bridges. It was opened in November 1916. There are seven bridges in Saskatoon. It's known as the City of Bridges. The twenty-fifth street bridge is properly known as the University Bridge.

Hi dpc.
Sorry, my query was a bit ambiguous, I didn't really mean literal age so much as construction, to me it looks like a cast concrete bridge in the style of a brick or stone built multi arch bridge, such as were built in the 1200's and 1300's here.

Cheers, Graham.

Well, I guess 1916 is pretty dang young!

These pictures were taken in Switzerland this year. Even tough it is a country where many tourist go every year to see the famous mountains, there are lots of places so unknown (even to locals) and so beautiful.

One of those places is Gelten neaby Gstaad. The funny thing is that lots of famous people like Roger Moore (James Bond) live there but I guess most of them never visited the waterfalls of Geltenschuss or stood overnight at Geltenhütte (Gelten Hut) in the Swiss Alps. Nevertheless, it is absolutely worth to stay there.

Another place is Glattalp. A remote place in the eastern part of Switzerland. I was there just after the first snow.
