The supporting pillars of the land based part of the bridge, from the entrance steps of the tower, looked like the nave of a modern cathedral with the view through the arches disappearing in the distance. The supporting pillars dwarfed the walking people and how engineers start building a structure such as this is beyond my comprehension, so all I can do is stand back and enjoy the end result of their work, skills acquired after many years. I wonder which of the designers and architects, when the project was in the planning stages, drew the first line of a sketch or technical drawing ? Wooden Buckets In Great Demand Such items in my hometown, in this year 2002, would be sought after for use as garden tubs, but in China they would soon be replaced with plastic buckets, in a variety of colors and available in almost every market, and I wonder whether there are any Chinese craftsmen left now, who would be able to make a wooden one. Such is the price of progress but I am sure that the cleaning lady welcomed the arrival of the plastic bucket. If you are searching for any of the following topics, then just click them !
