Like a bridge into troubled water...

Or very calm water. I didn't take this picture, but did see basically the same view out of the plane window as we left Copenhagen today. This is the Great Belt Bridge that joins Sweden and Denmark.

Here you can see how the bridge just disappears without a trace into the ocean...or so it seems. Obviously the bridge leads into a tunnel that completes the connection between the two countries for the first time since the Ice Ages. Kinda cool, huh?

Because I am a nice guy, here is a link to the page that I stole the picture from. This guy/girl also has a bunch of other pictures of similar constructions from around the world. I realised by looking at the photos of the one in Virginia that this is done so that the boats can still sail the stretch where the bridge never was.
