Some bridges look brave even on a sunny day. Old planks, thin rails, wind you can feel in your knees, they all turn a short walk into a very deep breath. Some of these bridges are too high, others are downright too narrow, and then some are plain old exposed. These are the kind of bridges that you cross just once, but then remember forever.
