When you think of the word “Designer”, you typically think of what?  Web, print, art or maybe even fashion?  But do you ever think of bridges?  Think about it.  Someone had to design the plans to come up with the general structure of the bridge that would be  functional, safe and durable to withstand all seasons.  But the beauty of designing the bridge is not generally in it’s functionality, but the visually stunning personality that brings the bridge to life.

Building a bridge from blueprints to the exact object could be a lot like building a website.  You want it to make people go “OH WOW” when they see it.  It needs to age well – you can’t go building new bridges every other month and you certainly wouldn’t want to do that with your site.  But of course, most importantly – it needs to have user functionality – to provide the user with that of which they seek – in the sense of a bridge…it’s to get to the other side.

To regular people, like most of us using the bridges, they are simply just that – just a bridge, a thing that gets us from one place to another.  To bridge the gap.

To some creative communities they are seen as forms of art – let’s take a look at some appealing creations of Art now from our friends – Flickr.

With most of us across the country snowed in and just about snowed out, we hope that Mother Nature is taking a long sleep as she’s been a very busy lady lately.

To follow through with nature’s mood, let’s take a glance at some astonishing HDR images of nature at it’s finest (or worst as the case may be) from the Creative Commons area at Flickr.
