For the last 500 years, the locals of Nongriat in Meghalaya, India have grown several hundred bridges across the region’s numerous water channels, using just the roots of local ribber trees. Some of the bridges extend over 100 feet in length and are strong enough to support more than 50 people at a time.
This is beautiful; I hope to one day see this. Traveling to India has been on my list of places to go since I was a child anyways.

If your friend jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?
Somewhere on a train trestle overlooking a river.
Person A: "Let's Jump”
Person B: "I’m not going to jump off a bridge with you.”
Person A: “But, it would be fun!”
Person B: “No! This is stupid. We're going to break our legs.”
Person A: “Come on! It’s just water. This is the summer life! Just jump into the river.”
Person B: "No!"
Person A: "Please."
Person B: "No!"
Person A: "Sometime you just have to ask yourself: 'if your friend jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?’ Now, what would a true friend do?"
Person B: "..."
Person A: "..."
Person B: "The answer's still No."
Person A: “Fine. Now before you walk away and leave me to jump alone into this river with out anyone to keep me safe and watch out for me. Did you EVER account for the Buddy System? We have to stick together!”
Person B: “.......You got me there…”

The Brooklyn Bridge was completed in 1883 and is one of the oldest roadway bridges in the United States. Lower Manhattan is the present-day Financial District. It is also the point at which the city of New York began in 1624. Couldn't decide between the color and black & white versions of the Lower Manhattan skyline. So I uploaded both. ---- #longexposure #landscape #cityscape #skyline #newyorkcity #manhattan #brooklyn #bridge #citylights #urban #buildings #blackandwhite #photography @photographerfocus #throwbackthursday #tbt #funfacts (at Brooklyn Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnaE0lFn9L6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15vdxvp73gbxd

The Overtoun Bridge
Over 300 dogs have jumped off this bridge in Dumbarton, Scotland. Since the 1960s, the Overtoun Bridge has been a mysterious hotbed for what locals have called “doggy suicides.”
Owners walking their dogs on the bridge would scream in terror as their dogs got away and leapt to their deaths. The dogs that jumped but didn’t die would climb their way back up only to jump again.
One day Lottie MacKinnon was walking her border collie, Bonnie, over the Overtoun Bridge during one of their walking sessions. Suddenly, MacKinnon said she could sense something change in her dog.
“Something overcame Bonnie as soon as we approached the bridge,” MacKinnon said. “At first [Bonnie] froze, but then she became possessed by a strange energy and ran and jumped right off the parapet.” Bonnie, however, was one of the lucky ones to survive a jump off Overtoun Bridge.
There are many theories about why dogs are doing this. Some people believe its supernatural. Animal experts believe its due to the fact that the dogs are simply attracted to the strong scents given off by the mammals living in the lush gorge below the bridge.
Whatever the cause may be, the Overtoun Bridge continues to be a hotspot for jumping dogs. Thus a local member of parliament called on the Dumbarton Council to erect clearly marked warning signs around the area of the Overtoun Bridge in hopes of curbing this bizarre and macabre trend.
