Life is a game - play it.

Life is a challenge - meet it.

Life is a dream - realize it.

Life is a sacrifice - offer it.

Crossed lots of bridges on the big Americas trip... this one is known to local Cincinnatians as the 'singing bridge', due to the mesh metal roadway. The tyres hum along nicely on there! I just loved the pretty blue metal work...

Back from the big trip over the 'pond'... some 1800 images taken, but a goodly few are less than usable... you know how it is - just shoot and shoot and somewhere among them will be a gem or three...

Lots are of architecture and bridges. Much symmetry to be found therein! This one is from Cincinnati.

There's a "Spot The Difference" on offer - can you see it?
