Sound 2: Bridges and Bells

The main things that you encounter when walking up a river, oddly enough, are bridges. I crossed over three during my trek, and I passed another 17. A good majority of the bridges are movable, so that sale boats can navigate the river. On the day I did my walk, there were a lot of boats out, so the bridges were up a lot.

This particular bridge is what's called a Bascule bridge, which means that each half rises up on hinges... or something like that. They ring bells to warn you when a boat is coming, so that you're not on the bridge when it opens. I've been wondering how fun it would be to dangle from the middle. I wonder what kind of fine that would incur?

I was standing on the Riverwalk about 10 feet away from this bridge when it opened.

Bridge the gap here.
