Lindas fotos, Gaby.
Te voy a pasar una del unico puente que tenemos aca, el del Parque San Martin.

With the exception of that last one, which is credited to Santi, did you take all of these pictures? If so, you've traveled quite a lot... I'm jealous!

Happy WW!

Gabriel said...

Mike, gracias, mandamela por favor.
smarmoofus, yup, all pictures -minus the last one- were taken by me... :-)

SandyCarlson said...

Beautiful, all, Gabriel.

pete said...

Nice shot over New York. Did you capture that from the airplane window? if so, the results are great for an airplane-on-approach window shot.

Gabriel said...

No, Pete. As I said, I took the picture from the 107th floor of the World Trade Center, back in August of 1997. We were there having lunch with my brother, his wife and my two nieces.

It does look like from a plane, doesn't it? :-)

Napaboaniya said...

You've just brought me on a tour :) Great shots!!

Bunny Trails said...

Great shots, Gabriel. Awesome bridges. :D

maiylah said...

Indrani said...

Wow! Thanks for this virtual trip Gabriel. Beautiful shots all.

carrie said...

those are beautiful so long as I don't have to go on any of them. I hate bridges! Scary!

feefifoto said...

I love bridges! There's one in San Diego that I particularly like because it's simple, swooping and futuristic. I also recently saw the (not) original London Bridge in London (duh).

Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog. I love comments -- can't get enough of them.

Jim said...

Hi Gabriel, Happy WW! What a nice idea. I should have been taking a long time ago I guess. I do take the ones that impress me.

Holiday Inn Express doesn't serve those breakfasts, they just put the food out after they get it defrosted. It is self service.
I had to make the sausage, egg, and biscuit sandwich.

What a wonderful series! I'm just love bridges and these are wonderful photos.... and some nice world travel.

Shannon @ Gabi's World said...

Wow! Doesn't it feel weird knowing you were at the World Trade Center?

Beautiful pics! You are some world traveler!

ettey said...

gorgeous bridges... love the niagara falls! :D

Will said...

Reminds me of the bridge I used to walk across to go fishing as a boy. It was the highest railroad trestle in the New Hampshire.

Once the terminus of the Peterborough and Shirley Railroad, Greenville was home to the highest railroad trestle in the state, 600 feet long and 100 feet above the Souhegan River.

Happy WW!

Looks like some nice vacations.

The Right Blue said...

This is a great collection, Gabriel. You should call it "Bridges around the world."

Jean at Penny Lane said...

WOW -- looks like the bridges from the train set only they are now real. LOL

I have a bridge in my photo this week in the Boston Public Gardens with the Swan Boats.

I just want to say, I have trouble posting on your blog hit or miss. Very frustrating! Mr. Linky does not work for me here.

Clarence said...

That's a really cool picture you took from the World Trade Centre - fantastic view!

jientje said...

Thank you for the one in Bruges!!!
I love it, it's the town I was born and raised in! My parents and family still live there, and every time I see a picture of Bruges, my heart makes a tiny little jump!

Michelle Gartner said...

I am jealous- you have been traveling quite a bit haven't you!

Adam,the Bee said...

Great,great shots of bridges! Thanks for sharing!

Gellianne said...

Hello Gabriel! Long time no visit!
I am happy to be back here and your shots are real beautiful.

Mica said...

Happy WW Gabriel!

zamejias said...

You have a lovely collection of bridges pics. Happy WW.

Angie said...

Great series. You can tell you really enjoy your 'subjects.'
Happy WW!

frenchkys said...

That's a lot of bridges. Very cool pictures, too, especially the one taken from the world trade center. ;)

You know what they say about bridges...one of the hardest things in life is to know which ones to cross and which ones to burn (personally, I hate doing that last bit).

Cheers, Gabriel!

There's just something about the bridges that draws us in! Those are great.

sunshineforlife said...

wow what a wonderful collection of bridges.

happy WW!

Robin said...

There's just something so compelling about bridges...

Busymama Karen said...

Did you travel to all of these places? That is so cool.

WillThink4Wine said...

These are all fabulous, Gabriel. I must admit, when I read you'd taken the Brooklyn & Manhattan Bridges photo from the World Trade Center I gasped; that makes the photo all the more special.

June said...

Wonderful series...the one from the WTC made me a bit melancholy though...

Katya said...

Wow! You have certainly seen a FEW bridges!!!!

Great photos!

Sue said...

What a great series of shots! I have only been to the Rainbow bridge. Happy WW and thank you for stopping by!

Mama Grizzly said...

Those are some awesome pictures!!!

Shannon said...

That's a great idea bridges from all over the world. I will have to remember that as we travel this summer.
I too had to laugh at the redneck triathlon sign on my post, at least until my husband announced he was buying a washer game to take to Germany with us. I guess we will be the rednecks on the block.

Annie said...

Wow - that picture of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges is AMAZING!!!!

Secret Agent Mama said...

What awesome pictures, Gabriel!

Allison Says said...

What great photos! Now you just need some pictures of PITTSBURGH bridges! hehe...there are so many here, it's pretty unbelievable, actually!

Happy WW :)

Lazy Daisy said...

I have always been intrigued by bridges and these are wonderful pictures. Thanks for making my day.

marcia said...

bridges link things so I esp like the ones that link countries link the one by Niagara fall between USA and Canada

Julia Smith said...

I've been on Mackinac Bridge and I've seen the Rainbow Bridge (but my family have always driven through the tunnel, for some reason.) You've been all over the place! I love the picture of the little bridge in Belgium. Absolutely gorgeous.

And at the swearing-in ceremony in Halifax yesterday, there were people from Argentina.

Jenileigh said...

What fun! Happy WW!

Junebug said...

Gabriel, all these photos are fabulous! I have never seen the Niagra so cold! I saw little covered bridges in Lucern, Switzerland. I really liked the view from the World Trade Center. I got to see New York City in 1973 when I think they had just built the WTC? Or were building it. The only tall one we went up in was the Empire State.

Randall said...

You've been to some wonderful places. I wish I could travel like that. I love your bridges.

Marin County said...

What a great idea to take photos of all those bridges. :) They are awesome!

Cute Baby said...

How wonderful that you are able to travel to so many exciting places. Happy WW!

eastcoastlife said...

Cool collection of bridges! Didn't the Kissing Bridge appeared in a movie?

Guy Vestal said...

Wonderful pics. I love bridges.

Strider said...

Wow! With all those collection of bridges, I see your passion into connecting.
Thanks for making a new one. :)

My Goodness said...

Nona said...

The Belgium Brigde was a rather quaint picture.

Erin Faye said...

Great shots! And great idea for a post! Happy WW!

Chris said...

Great pics!

Raivyn ~ Don't Be Silent said...

I've been on the Mackinac bridge once before.. thought my friends and I would never get off that thing! It wasn't the best day- traffic was backed up and stuff. :/ And of course, the NY bridges I'm familiar with, too.

Argentina and Belgium look like nice places to visit.. I'd love to see all that one day.

Great WW post! :)

jessica said...
