funny you should say that. as we were picnicking up above the bridge (where the photo was taken), a tempest was rolling in from the mountains to the east. we could hear the thunder and see the lightening, the clouds, and the rain bearing down during our picnic. made for a dramatic view, but all i could think was "we better be over that bridge before that storm arrives!"
about 25 minutes or so into our picnic, a lightening strike not more than 10 or so miles away convinced us to pack up and get moving. which we did. i had a secret beating heart and sweaty palms as we subsequently approached the bridge on the autoroute and then drove onto it with the first drops of rain falling. in fact the bridge is so wide that it's really not particularly gripping when you're up there. you can't see directly down, more out and over. about 1 or 2 kilometres past the bridge, tho', we had to pull off to the side of the road (mind you, it's autoroute!) because it was pouring giant hailstones, plus, y'know, lightening, thunder, and wind. all i could
