  3. Hello Mai Chau

    Such visually thrilling bridge pictures, lively snapshots of walkways old and new, that give the city its distinctive charm or unique appeal
    An old, ancient looking bridge, none too far, in Bruges, overlooking the calm waters languildly flowing, seemingly untroubled for centuries

    A fascinating touch to a picturesque, quiet town corner, lovely accentuated by reflection of tree shades on the water surface, a delightful fusion of colors, navy blue and emerald green meshing perfectly together in creating a surreal, painting like imagery ideally fit for a contemplative mood

    Equally appealing, but more on a vibrant side, a charmingly curvy bridge crossing in Amsterdam, a noteworthy point of interest to a
    busy town intersection beautifully framed, deftly captured in its entirety
    On a more personal note, an up close, unobstructed view of the Seven Bridge, the tunnel vision refreshingly frozen in time offering a warm, human touch to viewers, the happy sightseers on a joyful ride down its famed canals

  5. Mai Chau oi,

    May I borrow Quang's words to express how I feel about
    your photos? :-)

    I like the 2nd one best. Same as Caro's bridge in Amsterdam
    they bring back memories of many days ... hobbling on the cobbled
    street after a visit to the coffee shops J/K ( I did go in one
    asking for coffee -- just off the plane still jet lagged ... to realize it's
    not the likes of our coffee shops -- you can google image
    Amsterdam coffee shops to get a visual 'taste' hi hi)

  7. Hello Bao Tram, Mai Chau

    In all fairness, MC's pretty bridge pictures spoke a volume for themselves, a whole lot better than I could ever adequately convey in words, as I only tried my best to add a little personal perspective,
    the way I saw fit, after staring at them for about ten minutes or so, to come up with the right thing to say :-)
