    This month the contest has been crowded, and with great photographs on the subject. A little late, but I hope to arrive before the end of the month.

    Although in Barcelona we do not have any limitations to move around, I have stayed in Barcelona without leaving. For the photographs this month, I have looked up the meanings of the word "Bridge" in the dictionary, and I have taken the meanings that corresponded to the items I had on hand.

    Here are the following photos:

    I remember the trip I made in 2014 to San Francisco. It is a pencil sharpener with the image of one of the most famous bridges in the world.

    The bridge of a violin. Here I have selected two photographs: the first the bridge without strings of the violin that belonged to my mother-in-law, which slowly deteriorates without playing, as she used to say: “if the violin is not played, it cries”. And the second is a miniature of a violin.

    Those images certainly apply to the theme. It sometimes pays to consult the dictionary.
    Nicely photographed.

    As Ray said, the idea of the comp is to get us up and taking more images, nicely done, José and stay safe.

    Thanks Ray Allen for your kind comments and nice bridge, in 2017 I took a trip to Australia and saw quite a few amazing bridges.
