boondoggle, bridge, stars

Starry road to nowhere

We kept reading during Sarah Palin's time on the campaign trail that the Alaskans wanted to build a bridge to nowhere. Well, they need not have bothered. Saarland already has nowhere fully connected. In the picture, you see a supremely sturdy, well-tarmacked bridge, leading from nowhere on one side to nowhere on the other. It must have seemed like a good idea at the time.

  1. It is like the way that the stars in our destiny mark to us, to the bottom waits for everything to us a forest of hope, peace and calmness. Great photo

  2. Both the bridge and the stars seem a little fanciful.

  3. Imagine how much longer road construction would take if they had to apply stars to the new roads!
