From the kite-aerial photography Flickr group, a couple of interesting bridges, side by each:

( I did not take this shot. A guy in France did. He does a ton of really good work. )

Here's one, DMT. During rough weather on a west swell, a wave breaks right under the bridge. A slow, mushy beautiful wave and awesome view!

"Långholmsbron (Swedish: "The Long Islet Bridge") is a bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden. Connecting the major island Södermalm to the minor island Långholmen, it forms an extension to the street Bergsundsgatan.

The bridge was formerly called Spinnhusbron ("The spinning house Bridge") in reference to the precursor to the Långholmen prison, and, popularly, Suckarnas bro ("The Bridge of Sighs"), also in reference to the prison. Its present name stems from 1885. The section of Västerbron, the bridge overpassing Långholmsbron, used to be called Långholmsbron.

Most likely, an old wooden bridge was found here by the mid 17th century, as this was the location for a custom house dealing with the ships delivering goods to the city from Lake Mälaren. Nevertheless, it is present on a map dated 1733 and was replaced by a new wooden, four-span truss bridge in 1845, 33 metres long, and 6 metres wide. In 1931, the present three-span steel girder bridge was inaugurated; 56 metres in length and 8 metres wide with a roadway of 5,6 metres."

Hey speelyei,

Did you stop at the brewery on the other side of that bridge?

Sorry for the poor photo, I was probably choked up when I took it.

The plaque reads:

A mountain dog
Loved by all who knew him.
Trained in avalanche rescue
And
Respect for wilderness wildlife.
Devoted companion
To his master.
Crossed the Sierra
Many times.

This was his last trail.

Lethe - the river of unmindfulness

In Greek mythology, Lethe (Greek: Λήθη, Lḗthē; Classical Greek [lɛː́tʰɛː], modern Greek: [ˈliθi]) was one of the five rivers of Hades. Also known as the Ameles potamos (river of unmindfulness), the Lethe flowed around the cave of Hypnos and through the Underworld, where all those who drank from it experienced complete forgetfulness. Lethe was also the name of the Greek spirit of forgetfulness and oblivion, with whom the river was often identified.

In Classical Greek, the word lethe literally means "oblivion", "forgetfulness", or "concealment". It is related to the Greek word for "truth", aletheia (ἀλήθεια), which through the privative alpha literally means "un-forgetfulness" or "un-concealment".

Is there a bridge?

Harbour Bridge.. there's a tunnel that crosses almost directly beneath it... maybe a touch to the East, though.

Marlow I think you have your caption mixed up...that train is clearly headed to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
