This is some really cool bridge I found.

The Millau Viaduct (French: le Viaduc de Millau) is a cable-stayed road bridge that spans the valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern France. Designed by French bridge engineer Michel Virlogeux in collaboration with British architect Norman Foster, it is the tallest vehicular bridge in the world, with one pier's summit at 341 metres (1,118 ft)—slightly higher than the Eiffel Tower and only 40 m (132 ft) shorter than the Empire State Building. It was formally opened on 14 December 2004 and opened to traffic on 16 December 2004.

And this is the picture of me after I helped paint ceilings at the Townsends back on September 27. Woohoo. What fun.

  3. that picture still has the red supports in before the bridge was opened. after it opened, they took those out and it now only rests on seven posts. wow. That is rediculous.
