One of the most amazing engineering marvels of the twenty-first century is the Viaduc de Millau located in southern France which spans over and across the Tarn Valley.
If it was over a harbour, it would be more famous.

Cold?! You should try the northern hemisphere for a while.
I think that bridge is amazing, but I am a little sad a perfectly good valley was ruined by a man-made object.
How right you are Bogdan.
People are so impatient these days to go from one place to another.
Take the winding road...
Excuse me butting in where I don't particularly belong. I came across your blog through the reference to Malawi!
I've been across the Millau viaduct perhaps half a dozen times now. I'll take it any day rather than the sick-making windy road which is the alternative.
That is a fntastic picture you have there but gives a very distorted picture. The actual bridge doesn't seem to dominate the landscape nearly so much, and when you do come through a gap in the mountains and see it, it's quite a breathtaking sight.
I do appreciate what you're saying but don't agree that it's ruined the valley. I bet the people who lived on or near the windy road would agree.
