I love the sharp symmetry in the bridge shot. The absence of vehicles on the bridge really draws attention to the shapes. Here are a few roads from me:

All great photos Cee but the bridge one is my favorite. I think of you every time I shoot a bridge and wish that I could do so half as well as you do.
Had a bit of a blow up (server crash) right after I submitted my entry for this week’s challenge and have been restoring the blog ever since. I recreated the entry (with the wrong date and then the original date) and here it is. Hope you like it
