The turning of a new year prompted a certain amount of reflection about how the past year had been and wow what a year 2021 was for me at Bridges.Are you a budding or professional photographer who enjoys perusing the photographs of other artists to see what you can glean from their craft? So I kept this book handy in my house and both my parents who were born and raised in Italy, loved looking through it when they came over for a visit.

My husband translated the text (my parents read only Italian and French) and they spent a few hours just admiring the beautiful photographs.

He also describes the activity that takes place on the bridges and is able to even capture some of this within his photos.

I was thrilled to see the insert about each bridge (the length and when it was built) it's just a nice tidbit of information to have access to.
