A web site well-worth noting

I was looking for a good image of the Millau Bridge to supplement the prior post and I Googled this excellent site Structurae: International Database and Gallery of Structures.

Welcome to Structurae! This site offers you information on works of structural engineering, architecture or construction through time, history and from around the world. Our documentation begins at the time of the pyramids in Egypt and Roman construction, continues to Romanesque and Gothic churches and through to the Industrial Revolution all the way to today and beyond. Structurae deals mostly with bridges, tunnels, dams, skyscrapers, stadiums, towers, etc. Explore this site to discover the marvelous works of structural engineering.

I have just added it to my blogroll.

And here is one of its images which shows the bridge that Jennings urges us to see:
