Skywatch Friday - Millau Viaduct

Nearly a week back in London and only grey overcast skies. So today is a view of where I was this time last week. The Millau viaduct spans the Tarn Gorge in the South of France. An incredibly beautiful bridge (if one can say that about bridges). The tallest vehicular bridge in the world (actually taller than the Eiffel tower!) 2.5 kms across. Opened in December 2004. Winner of outstanding structure award.
Standing on the hill to take this photo I wasn't sure if I'd be blown off the hill before I froze to death. I'd recommend waiting until summer for a visit.


Take time to visit all the other skywatchers.
