Can you identify this bridge? Send an e-mail message to bob@bridgeink.com identifying the bridge by name and by geographical location. One winner will be drawn from any correct answers received through July 30*, 2009. (*Note that the July quiz will end on the 30th)That lucky winner will awarded a free copy of "Bridging the World". The June bridge was the Khaju Bridge in Esfahan, Iran. In May of this year, there was no water to reflect its beauty, but the timing of my visit was fortunate politically if not artistically. Many quiz entrants recognized the bridge and the winner for June is Louie Caparelli of Omaha, Nebraska. He has been entering for 9 years and his persistence has finally earned him a copy "Bridging the World." .....The monthly prize is Bridging the World (If the winner already has this book, alternate prizes are available.) A 208 page hard bound presentation of 306 color photographs of bridges from 6 continents. A perfect addition to any bridge book collection and a perfect gift to anyone fascinated by the beauty of bridges. Available from:
