38 Bonding Bridges

From Rolling Bridge to Supermodel Bridges

— November 14, 2009 — Art & Design
Bridges are a necessity in life, both figuratively and literally. The latter is important for many obvious reason, most notably to cross those treacherous waters and terrains beneath it. Figuratively, as our world becomes smaller (also a figurative statement) we need to forge bridges in order to become a harmonious species. Unfortunately, it is a bit harder to make a cluster based on the figurative, so enjoy these actual bonding bridges.
