kmerr Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hi everyone, first of all sorry for my english Thanks to all for the votes to my photo of the Manarola village. Great images from everyone who took part at the challenge. The theme for the August challenge is 'Bridges'. The rules are always the same, then no more than three photos per person, you must be the owner of the pictures and the closing date is 31st August. I'll pick the top 8 images and then the choice will be yours. Here are two of mine: Bridge in rione Garbatella in Rome, Italy Ponte Fabricio in Rome, Italy Thanks again!

Ed Rooney Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Ah, Ponte Fabricio . . . one of my three favorite bridges that cross the Tiber. I lived in Trastevere just behind the fountain on Via Benedetta, across the lovely Ponte Sisto. When last I was in Rome in 2008, Ponte Sisto had become a mini slum. I hope that situation has been corrected. When I lived in Rome in the '60s, the Ponte Sisto had iron gates on top. They looked nice, delicate, but more recently the bridge has been restored to its original design. Oh, the third bridge? Ponte Sant'Angelo, of course. Makes me sad that I don't enter these competitions. Edo, quasi romano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also fascinating and instructive to see what others have hidden in their collections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 It will be tough to beat Ann's angelic bridge shot! Really nice Ann! So I am putting in one tongue-in-cheek shot seniors playing bridge, just for yucks.

ann Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Michael, thank you, and yet more and more lovely photos! Along thinking-outside-the-box approach of your happy bridge players - I figure it's just a matter of time until someone posts image of a bridge/removable partial dentures.

ann Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hmm, Lisa's question has made me consider I might be the only person who sees the wood structure in my entry as a possible bridge. If so, well.... I'll cross that pier when I get to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Can it be bridge or pier, or strictly bridges only? A pier as a bridge? Hmm. Lisa, me thinks that is a bridge too far. So you have nice image of a pier? But do you have any good pictures of peers? (About now Alessandro is wishing he had studied Russian instead of English.)
