Crossing the swamp on a bridge some kind of log bridge

in #life8 years ago


"Bridge is not a construction but it is a concept, the concept of crossing over large spans of land or huge masses of water, and to connect two far-off points, eventually reducing the distance between them. The bridge provides passage over the obstacle of small caverns, a valley, road, body of water, or other physical obstacle. Designs of bridges vary depending on the nature of the terrain and the function of the bridge and where it is constructed." Quoted from link

Log Bridge is actually a bridge made of logs felled. Bridge, of course, has been used since ancient times as a vital facility in traffic flows. Even in the modern era, building bridges has developed a highly developed, but in some places, as appropriate, the bridge was built with traditional ways.

For example, a bridge built to cross the swamp, swampland either open as in the middle of the fish pond, or swamp areas covered by plants living in swamps like Nipa palm or Sago palm.

The bridge that once we crossed, as seen in the pictures, is in a low area on the north coast of Aceh. What's interesting about this bridge, because wood is used both for the pole or pedestal (rail) derived from coconut trees.

Crossed the bridge like this, and in an area like that, actually gives us a different nuance. Retarded, indeed, but feel closer to nature.

I will share with you pictures of the bridge is very simple, made of coconut trees. Therefore, the bridge is a concept, not construction, as has been said. And you'll see how people respond the challenges of life.

The pictures of another bridge, I've posted previously. See, link.
