Description


This is picture of the late Natural Bridge, it collapsed on September 2, 2005 in the middle of the night. The bridge was made of coral limestone and was 23 feet from the surface of the water and was 100 feet long. It was one of the most visited sites in Aruba. It is a piece of Aruba history.

Ah, well, as George Harrison once wisely said, "All things must pass". Nice shot of this bridge. I've seen a few natural bridges like this, but always seem to have a hard time finding a way to capture it effectively in a photo...

Unusual formation. Too bad it is gone but how lucky you weren't standing on it at the time:) Sorry I've not commented on a few of your last posts...I am awaiting new glasses after successful eye surgery for cataracts. Extended time on the computer makes my eyes tired in a hurry...should be back to normal in a week to ten days.

I walked on it...The locals claimed it collapsed because of too many fat Americans standing on it...their words, not mine..

It was the London Bridge in Australia that collapse. I found a video on you tube that shows the bridge whole and then broken. It was a lot higher then the one in Aruba. I wish I got to see it before it broke.

The forces that form a bridge like that will eventually tear it down. Great shot!
