Bridges in Japan

I don't know how many of my readers also follow the Japanese bridge photography blog, Tabikappa, but they've covered some truly brilliant ultra-lightweight footbridges in the last few days, so I'd really recommend you take a look. I hope they don't mind me re-posting one of their photographs here as a taster! My three favourites: Monkey Nishikawa, Nishikawa / KH Masago, Nishikawa / Nagai.

Decrepit suspension bridges

I'd just like to draw your attention to several recent posts at the Japanese bridges blog, Tabikappa, which are excellent examples of old, unloved, but still lovely vernacular suspension footbridges. Great pictures for anyone who enjoys seeing examples of bridges where "mend-and-make-do" prevails over computer analysis and high technology, especially this one and this one.
