Sunday Bridges ... with a Sigh -- Oxford, UK

"Bridge of Sighs" by day

"Bridge of Sighs" by night

From an information placard:

"Bridge of Sighs" built in 1913-1914, affectionately named after the "Ponte di Sospiri" in Venice, arches gracefully over New College Lane, uniting two quads and the buildings of Hertford College.

The city wall is inspected by the mayor every third year as part of the agreement back in 1379 when New College was given permission to be founded just inside the city wall.

Evelyn Waugh, author of "Brideshead Revisited" (one of my favorites) is a graduate of Hertford College.

Over Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, Delaware (Sunday Bridges)

I crossed the C & D Canal on the older arch bridge (S. Dupont Pkwy -- State Rd. 13) and admired the newer cable-stayed bridge (Korean War Veterans Memorial Hwy -- DE-1) while travelling in Delaware last August. (15 August 2009)

Buddies: Commodore Schuyler F. Heim & Henry Ford Bridges - Terminal Island, CA (SUNDAY BRIDGES)

The Com. Heim Bridge (green structure) is part of State Route 47 (the Terminal Island Freeway), crossing over the Cerritos Channel and is heavily used by trucks coming and going to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The bridge opened in Jan. 1948. The H. Ford bridge is, oddly, a railway bridge.

Good write-ups on the bridges can be seen PORT AUTHORITY info and Heim in Wikipedia and H. Ford in Wikipedia.

(Per Wiki, Mannix TV show opening sequence was filmed on the Heim bridge. My dad and I loved watching that show in the late '60s, in former Yugoslavia.)
