So, why not make a nice theme about "Bridges" for next month, even if it has already been proposed in 2021, of course they can be shot with daylight or night light since most of the bridges are illuminated
thank you all

Thank you Franco for the theme "Bridges" , I shall get the CWP ready for next month.

Steve

Can I presume 'Viaducts' (such as carrying rail or water) also fits in with the Bridges theme?

Herb that would be correct in this they are one and the same by day or by night.
