I get an all day, sometimes multiple day, hop on hop off tour bus and go up on top. It is such a rush! I stand up like Kate on Titanic and I feel like I’m flying! Get to see and feel so much of the aliveness of a city, the people and culture. ---

Wonderful photos, @Amparo! The bridge is actually Tower Bridge, not London Bridge. My daughter’s flat is located close to it and I frequently confused the two bridges when she first moved to London. 😀 ---

My first reaction was ‘WOW!!’ The Stari Most or Mostar Bridge is a rebuilt Ottoman bridge in the city of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina that crosses the river Neretva and connects the two parts of the city. The Old Bridge stood for 427 years, until it was destroyed on November 9th 1993 by Croatian Defence Council during the Croat-Bosniak War. Subsequently, a project was set in motion to reconstruct it and the rebuilt bridge opened on July 23rd 2004. The last photo shows a local bridge diver which draws large crowds to see them perform their death-defying leaps into the Neretva river below. It is not something you should decide to do willy-nilly because the waters are dangerous, and many people have been injured or even killed by merely deciding to try it for themselves. If you do decide to do it for yourself you will need permission and you then obtain training from the local jumpers! ---

@Samox24 great photos! We got married in Gibraltar and did the cable cars and the restaurant at the top, but not this bridge! We have it on our list when we go back one day. Great reminder and what a shot to recreate. ---
