Leonardo's Bridge

Hello Gnomon
I recall seeing a TV programme on this bridge project, which was very interesting

extremely

Great entry!

Nothing to add (apart from one or two typos and a bit of repetition in the Turkish bit)

Icy

What a beautiful bridge, and a nicely written piece!

Does
"suspension bridge" describe it accurately? Because I simply couldn't visualize what you were on to until I saw the pic - and even then it's not the best pic on the web. Also, "series of curves" sounds nice, but made me think of something almost curlicuing. I thought the actual bridge looked more like three graceful arches.

No, a suspension bridge would be suspended by cables from (a) central support(s). I got a vague idea of the concept before looking at the picture, but I've imagined that type of bridge before from descriptions in books without ever having seen a picture of one.

Arches does sound more descriptive than curves, though. I would think of a curve going side to side, and an arch going over something.

I've changed "single graceful curve" to "single graceful arch". I've left the other references to curves as they are, since curviness is the most essential feature of this bridge.

Do you think that does it?

'>>the district of Galata (now known as Beyoglu)' (last para, Golden Horn)
--This seems a little redundant because it was established in the previous paragraph that Beyoglu used to be Galata .

--Description of the bridge much better now

Oops! I remember fixing that repetition about Beyoglu, but I musn't have clicked the Update button. Sorry. It's fixed now.

Description VG.

What are the stars for?

I get a star from Recumbentman every time I lose a kilo weight. But these four were lost through illness, so I feel a bit of a humbug.

The end justifies all means.
But how kind of him. Which constellations does he pinch them from?

well done x4!

Is there ANUTHING you don't know about?

Hi Gnomon,

once you're back from Greece, could please have a look at A22548369?

That looks OK, Schreck, except that there are two mistakes in the following:

Leonard's design was a strange in the extreme

Leonard --> Leonardo
was a strange --> was strange
