  • This 1845 covered bridge (168 feet long, designed with Burr arch trusses) spanned the Lamoille River for over 100 years before being moved to the Shelburne Museum in 1951. Shelburne Museum is one of the finest, most diverse, unconventional museums of American folk art. Visit this extensive museum in the town of Shelburne, near Lake Champlain, in Vermont, USA. Over 150,000 works are exhibited in 38 buildings, 25 of which are historic (relocated from New England and New York). See impressionist paintings, American paintings, artifacts of the 1600s-1900s, folk art, quilts and textiles, carriages, furniture, a lighthouse, covered bridge, and 220-foot steamboat Ticonderoga. Electra Havemeyer Webb, an avid collector of American folk art, founded the Museum in 1947.

Iceplant was introduced to California in the early 1900s as an erosion stabilization tool beside railroad tracks, and later used by Caltrans on roadsides. Iceplant is bad for a number of reasons. It’s invasive and releases salt into the soil, raising the salt level high enough to inhibit other plant seeds, especially grasses.  It doesn't serve as a food source for animals and can out-compete the native plants for water, light, and space. It's actually bad for erosion control. Having weak root systems, these heavy plants can cause the hill to start sliding, taking existing topsoil from the slope. Although the soft succulent new growth has a high water content which doesn't burn, the slow-to-decompose dead leaves layered underneath create a fire hazard.

  • Miles Canyon Suspension Bridge, near Whitehorse, capital and largest city of the Yukon, Canada. At Miles Canyon and the former Whitehorse Rapids downstream, the Yukon River cuts through 8-million-year-old lava flows, the Miles Canyon Basalts. Salmon pooling above and below the rapids attracted humans who left tools here 2500 years ago, and likely other people arriving 8000-9000 years ago after the retreat of glaciers. These narrow cliffs and rapids also established the upstream terminus for paddle-wheelers during the Klondike Gold Rush, eventually helping establish the City of Whitehorse. Whitehorse was incorporated in 1950 at kilometer 1426 (Historic Mile 918) on the Alaska Highway. The town was named for the former Whitehorse Rapids (now drowned by a hydroelectric dam), whose pale-colored glacially silted waters resemble the mane of a white horse. The Yukon River originates in British Columbia and flows into the Bering Sea in Alaska. The name Yukon comes from a Gwich'in phrase meaning white water river. Although historically called "Yukon Territory", the territory is now officially called "Yukon" (after the federal government's Yukon Act in 2002).

  • Water reflects morning sun which shimmers underneath a pedestrian bridge in the Ghetto, in Cannaregio sestiere, Venice (Venezia), Italy, Europe. The Venetian Ghetto was where Jews were compelled to live under the Venetian Republic starting in 1516, and from this the word "ghetto" originates. Venezia, founded in the 400s AD, is capital of Italy’s Veneto region, named for the ancient Veneti people from the 900s BC. The romantic City of Canals stretches across 100+ small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea, between the mouths of the Po and Piave Rivers. The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, a staging area for the Crusades, and a major center of art and commerce (silk, grain and spice trade) from the 1200s to 1600s. The wealthy legacy of Venice stands today in a rich architecture combining Gothic, Byzantine, and Arab styles. Venice and the Venetian Lagoon are honored on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

  • A foot bridge with animal cut outs crosses a channel in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno (the capital of the Galápagos archipelago), on Isla San Cristóbal (Chatham Island, Ecuador, South America), which is the easternmost island in the Galápagos archipelago, and one of the oldest geologically.

The Spanish name for San Cristóbal comes from the Patron Saint of seafarers, "St. Christopher." Its older English name of Chatham is that of William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham. The highest point on the island rises to 730 meters.

  • Women cross a canal bridge in Venice. Venezia, founded in the 400s AD, is capital of Italy’s Veneto region, named for the ancient Veneti people from the 900s BC. The romantic City of Canals stretches across 100+ small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea, between the mouths of the Po and Piave Rivers. The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, a staging area for the Crusades, and a major center of art and commerce (silk, grain and spice trade) from the 1200s to 1600s. The wealthy legacy of Venice stands today in a rich architecture combining Gothic, Byzantine, and Arab styles. Venice and the Venetian Lagoon are honored on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

  • The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Crossings at the Potomac River are a set of railroad bridges (on the National Register of Historic Places) that span the Potomac River between Maryland Heights, Maryland and Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, USA. Two bridges comprise the current crossing. in this image is the older bridge, a steel Pratt truss and plate girder bridge dating to 1894, carrying the B&O Valley line toward Winchester, Virginia along the Shenandoah River. A tunnel was built at the same time as the 1894 bridge to carry the tracks through Maryland Heights and to eliminate a sharp curve. The western end of the tunnel was widened in conjunction with the construction of the second bridge to allow the broadest possible curve across the river. Just downstream of the 1894 bridge, almost at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, are the ruins of two previous bridges on the same alignment. The newer of the bridges was a Bollman truss bridge that carried rail and highway traffic from 1870 until 1936, when it was swept away by a flood. As of 2008, Amtrak, the US national passenger rail system, provides service to Harpers Ferry twice a day (once in each direction). It is also served by the MARC commuter rail service, on its Brunswick line. The city's passenger rail station is located at the West Virginia end of the historic railroad bridge across the Potomac River. In addition about forty or fifty CSX freight trains daily pass through Harpers Ferry and over the bridge spanning the Potomac River.

  • Flying from Ezeiza (Ministro Pistarini International Airport, code EZE), see an earial view of Puerto Madero barrio of Buenos Aires, in Argentina, South America. Spanning dock 3 (dique 3), the cable-stayed Puente de la Mujer ("Woman's Bridge" at center, bright white) is a swinging footbridge in newly developed Puerto Madero commercial district of central Buenos Aires. The single mast (cantilever spar) suspends part of the bridge with cables and rotates 90 degrees to allow water traffic to pass. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, the bridge was built 1998-2001 in the Puerto Madero Waterfront along the Río de la Plata. The Río de la Plata ("River of Silver," called River Plate in British English or Plata River otherwise) is the tidal estuary confluence of Uruguay River and Paraná River on the border between Argentina and Uruguay. Its funnel shape indents the southeast coast of South America by 290 km (180 miles). Some geographers consider the Río de la Plata to be a gulf or marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean, while others consider it the widest river in the world, up to 220 kilometres (140 mi) wide.
