New Hampshire has 54 covered bridges, on a trip I was able to see a few. As to why covered bridges were built, some people say that the roofs protected the beams from rotting, or from freezing in bad weather. Others say that, since these bridges look like barns, animals would cross without fear. No matter the reason they are masterpieces of 19th-century engineering.
During this trip I also enjoy some railroad bridges that were very interesting.
Blair Bridge
The term skyscraper was originated in the 80’s as a tall continuously habitable building having multiple floors (of 10 to 20 floors), but now describes one of at least 40-50 floors. Using during its construction a steel framework that supports curtain walls.
Skyscrapers are iconic structures, they change the skyline of the city, it becomes a reference point, a memory, a scene in a movie, a postcard. After sometime no one remembers who owns it or who design it. When people think for example the Chrysler Building, hardly no one remembers the designer; William Van Alen, but what it comes to mind is New York, the same way John Hancock is Boston and Costanera Center is Santiago.

Copper and glass mosaic necklace. This was a fun experiment, copper is a very soft metal and its very easy to bend it, so it wasn’t difficult to follow the irregular shapes of the mosaic. The only problem with this is that even if you burn the metal after sometime the copper will come out and it will stain the skin.
Silver mount with an ammonoid fossil as the centerpiece. this was a hard piece to work on because of its irregular shape, but I was very happy with the end result.
