Bridges
If yesterday morning I felt as though I had taken two steps forward, today is more like three back so I will confine myself to posting a picture or two in what seems to be turning into a bridge series.

You get an idea of the scale of things when you realise those are people on the lower level of the building. I suppose one shouldn't take pleasure in defacements but when you enlarge the following pictures and see the dates you might feel some amusement. Grafitti is not a new thing!
