The Bridge of Sigh's
Posted by Jeff (Pembroke Dock, Wales., United Kingdom) on 4 October 2008 in Architecture.
Legend has it ,that if you kiss your beloved ,while on a gondola, beneath the bridge, at sunset, you are certain of eternal love..Shucks!

This brings memories to me :)
But those sighs on the bridge were not romantic then, when people were going along this bridge to the prison.
The photo is romantic :)
Pleasant weekend to you and family!

Nicely done Jeff in what was probably a difficult scene to expose for.
