A bridge is defined by a good dictionary worth its salt, as a structure built over a river, railroad, highway, etc. to provide a way across for vehicles or pedestrians. Conceptually, a bridge can also be a thing that provides connection, contact, or transition, like “a common language or Lingua Franca is a bridge between cultures.”
While hunting for good pictures at the Coastal Strip a couple of weeks ago, I was impressed with several pedestrian bridges built to cross a four-lane highway. The smooth curves of the red metallic structure caught my attention. I thought it was a good subject for a post.
Below are several photographs of a graceful pedestrian bridge at daybreak. Here we go.

In these photos you can clearly see the rapid urban development of Panama City, one of the most modern cities in Central America. Good Day.
