More Bridges




Because of all of the canals, Brugge has lots of drawbridges. The bridge in the middle pivots in the center to let boats by on either side. In this picture it is about half way between the open and closed position. The bridge on the bottom is a drawbridge where the cylindrical girders spin and wind up the suspender cables to raise the deck. I thought that was pretty interesting.
