The Tower Bridge

The following photos are of the Tower Bridge in London. The Tower Bridge is said to be the most famous example of a bascule (swing bridge) style bridge in the world. They started working on this in 1886 and it was not completed until 1894. The photos pretty much say the rest. The first is obviously a photo of the bridge from across the River Thames and the other two are close ups while crossing the Bridge on the hop on-hop off bus. I was amazed at how intricate it was.
