I love the photos, but don't get the Sara Palin/Obama Reference. Yes she was for/against the bridge, but the project was stopped long before Obama was President. She wanted and got the money for her state, did not want the bridge, he was in Chicago... It's liek the he didn't vote for the war thing. No but neither did I. He and I (and most americans) were not in the senate at the time.

One famous bridge is missing in your List: The "pont d'Avigion" in Avigion, France. It's just half a bridge and there is a famous song about it.

To support what Frank B said, your reference to the Bridge to Nowhere is not just inaccurate, but flat out wrong. At one point Sarah Palin did support the bridge, but then came out against its construction. See http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/10/opinion/main4435937.shtml:
"While it may be unfair to say that Sarah Palin always treated the Bridge as Milton Friedman might have, she quickly grasped the project’s folly and ultimately put it out of the nation’s misery. In a country where politicians endlessly make demands until weary taxpayers capitulate, Palin scrapped the bridge soon after she was empowered to do so. "
More significantly, Obama did not end the bridge's construction; to the contrary, both Obama and Biden specifically voted to keep funding in place for the bridge instead of transferring those funds to replace a bridge destroyed by Hurrican Katrina.

"really a "Bridge to Nowhere", a bizarre project endorsed by Sara Palin and mercifully put to rest by President Obama."
Your facts are incorrect on this one. Palin opposed it and Obama had nothing to do with killing the project.

The picture under the label
"An old design (not used) was not too shabby, either... strongly suggesting the Great Millau Bridge (see here)"
-I would rather strongly suggest the impressive Rio–Antirrio Bridge in greece as the design seems to be mostly a 1:1 copy of it.

The surviving elephants of Hamburg Zoo (Hagenbeck's Tierpark) helped clean up the rubble in the destroyed city after WW2. Don't know whether this picture shows Hamburg, but it's not implausible.

I think that the mistery pic is from Berlin, not Hamburg, after the downfall of the German Reich, in 1945. Immediate post-war. Sad, sad times, those, even for the poor animals...

If you browse around the world of modelling shows, you'll find plenty of displays comparable to that "incredibly detailed" model. And it won't include vehicles that didn't yet exist, which this one does.
don't click on the "Intriguing fantasy film is in the works" link. it will give you a virus!
