Even knowing this is Madrid is not helping - it is such a big edifice that there should be touristic links to it in/about Madrid but look as I might I come up blank. As for his 'handeness' I thought it looked righthanded i.e. taken from the back but heh what do I know with this being such an %^&*%&* scan

I promise to use a Hasselblad on all future image posts

Having just posted the above I changed my search phrasing

And finally found this one with a view that IMO does it http://www.travelpod.c​om …083102300.madri​d_park.jpg

This is the Parque del Retiro

Correct!

retiro park?

Yes it is...unfortunately though ^^^^

yeah, yeah... rub it in!

OK all my wonderfull WAINers - I have been running out of choices (just a few more up my sleeve) but here is one that I have stripped the EXIF off. I have shown two pictures the actual "what is it called" & WAIN and a supporting image that shows the view looking into what it 'bridges' taken from the centre of the bridge span. I failed to get the full span because of a lack of wide angle lens to hand on that trip but this was at 55mm FL that should give you all a clue as to the length?

I hope not too much of a stinker but IMO certainly something to get your teeth into

Not there.

In Europe?

Reminds me of a bridge/gorge along the Garden Route (S.A.)

And to please my curiosity: Storms River Bridge

Right country and route - looks like it is not going to last long now but I do need the name of the bridge (yes it does have a name & I have the picture to prove it) and the river it crosses.

EDIT- Yes Ken you have the location oh so quickly!!! and its 'common' name is the Storms River Bridge but it does have a "name" ~ can you find find it for the extra points? NB To quote one website "It is erroneously known to many as the Storms River Bridge"

Bloukrans river bridge - highest single span arch bridge in the world. Bungie jumpin anyone?

How about Paul Sauer Bridge?

Now that bridge I distinctly remember on the way to Knysna. I remember zooming along the highway and doing a double-take at the sign and then pulling a u-turn* about 1km down the road.

* I wonder...is it still considered a "U" turn when driving left side

How did I do that, A bit quick to jump I think, had I looked closer I would have realized the difference in spacing and angles of the supports, and that this bridge is much shorter.

"jump"... hee hee... no pun intended?

Absolutely and here is the somewhat small plaque stating so

Over to you.
