So here I am, Leek, back at page one, and finding your first two continue to puzzle as to what is which!
Here are a few more reflections from my archive.

I love reflections. Here are a few of mine—
The first is a bridge reflection in downtown Akron, Ohio along the Towpath Trail.
The second is a closeup of just the reflection.
Third is at the Circle Bar B Preserve near Lakeland, Florida.
Fourth is from the Asian Lantern Festival at the Cleveland Zoo a few years back.
Fifth is from a recent hike at the Lettuce Lake Conservation Park near Tampa, Florida.

That shimmering water is unusual and very attractive - I like #2 best

I like that first one, Leek. I also like fishing - so long as I don't catch anything (it wasn't always this way)!

They are interesting shots but that first one is wonderful! Then it adds a layer to the story when you note the “anti terrorist screen” in the window…right next to those beautiful children! WOW! 💗
Thank you Ducky

Sorry, this is a rotten image, but my only one of this iconic bridge in Exmoor National Park, Devon, and maybe the oldest bridge in my collection. But, although spectacular in many ways, Tarr Steps is of unknown age. Wikipedia tells us that "several theories claim that Tarr Steps dates from the Bronze Age but others date them from around 1400 AD. It has been restored several times in recent years, following flood damage." If medieval, it helps illustrate the culture gap between rural England of that time and the high style and sophistication of major city states like Venice or Florence. Even so, it was surely a major engineering feat to shift in those slabs of rock, some weighing as much as two tons.
Tarr Steps might be 5000 years old
Rialto bridge, oldest of four crossing the Grand Canal in Venice, was completed in 1591

The shops lining Rialto Bridge occupy some of the city's most expensive real estate.

Ponte Vecchio, the oldest of Florence's bridges (built 1339-1347) was the only one to survive WWII, thanks to German Consul Gerhard Wolf

When the kids were out of the house in ’94 I proposed …. (well Dee and I planned) …. that we would take a trip somewhere every summer just to rejuvenate our minds, bodies, and improve our sanity so we could return to work fully invested to do our best. It was a great idea and we followed through with it every year. That first trip was across these two bridges which crossed the Colorado River.
"gets you to the other side" - looks like that will take a leap of faith LOL

So true, but not always easy to capture, although digital sensors are a big help

Some local bridges
Yes - kids love bridges all around the world. One of my fave spots is at Dorset, Ontario (I'll post down the road), but my heart is in my mouth as they leap without apparently caring if a fastish, or even a slow motor boat might be coming through the other way.
