A bridge can be a way of getting from one place to another. A bridge can also be a work of art, a sight for sore eyes, and a way to enhance the beauty of its surroundings. These bridges are all of these things! Shown is the Tower Bridge over the River Thames in London.

We were very underwhelmed by the London Bridge afterwards.
However I miss my personal favorite: The Firth of Forth bridge.

Being mechanically minded I prefer bridges where you can see the forces at work - suspension bridges, girder bridges, trusses, arches all elemental.
And Calatrava should've been in there somewhere. He built his career with bridges!

I don't love the rest of the list. Millenium Bridge is much cooler than most of those. And what about Ponte Vecchio or Golden Gate?
My personal favorite is the Kraemerbruecke in Erfurt, which has some beautiful, half-timbered houses built on top of it:
