RE: Bridges of St. Petersburg. Alarchin Bridge.
The amazing part is that now a days with all the modern tools and knowledge and technology nothing is built to last. Everything that the governments of the world build is only to last for a few years, then is all rebuilt and done again , over and over. The cost to the tax payers is phenomenal.
Of course the architecture of past times is magnificent and gorgeous. But it seems to me that even then the authorities did not consider the opinion of the people. Sometimes they built buildings in spite of financial possibilities and technical expediency. For the construction of masterpieces, which we admire were spent years and human lives. But for the sake of beauty, it could be right.
