I snapped this picture of the Oresund Bridge on my trip last May to Northern Europe. I had seen the details of its construction before I went, on the National Geographic Channel, and hoped that I would get to see it, or better, sail under it. We took a different route, so going under it didn't happen. I was, however, able to get this picture from Copenhagen's port.

The National Geographic Channel will repeat its show on the construction of the bridge next Tuesday, 7/18. The design and construction of this bridge is fascinating.
