Jan 22, 2009: Cantilevered Bridge
This is about the strangest bridge I could imagine. Actually I wouldn't have imagined it, or even believed it before I saw the pictures.
http://cellar.org/2009/Cantilever_Bridge1.jpg It's pretty simple and really rather ingenious, using a minimum of materials and minimum footprint on valuable land. http://cellar.org/2009/Cantilever_Bridge2.jpg This bridge is in Leeuwarden, Netherlands... it looks like something York would build for his daughter. :haha: Link |
Wonder if it could be super powered. Bet it could really launch those cars high.:D
|
They should've added a big head on it.
|
Very very cool.
|
Pretty cool...even if it does look like a giant spatula.
|
The skys look threatening. Hope everybody has their tops up.

That's funny; I regularly drive over that bridge! If you are used to it, it's not that special; but looking at the pictures it's actually pretty cool.
|
By the way; the sky is typical dutch... a 'hollandse lucht' (almost always dark and threatening) (http://www.dutchlight.nl/www/html/eng/film/home.htm)

Well hello Linnepin! Welcome.
The Netherlands is (are?) one of my dream vacations! OK, Holland is one of my dream vacations. |
Hello!
'Nederland' is flat, has a sea-climate (wich explanes the threatening skies and lot's of rain :-( ) But is also a lot more than windmills, wooden shoes, smoking pot (amsterdam); it has a rich history and beautiful landscapes and old cities. |
That's why i want to go. Plus, I'm a huge fan of Van Gogh, and would like to go to the museum.
I've heard wonderful things, and think I would love it there. Oh, and I love rain...so I also have that! |
That bridge just looks so... polite. I'd want to hang a towel over one of its arms. How many yards of terry would that be?
|
Welcome, Linnepin!
I'd like to visit your country also. Enjoy the Cellar. |
