Yeah, the Millau Viaduct. I wanted to drive over it when I was living over there, but never got the chance.

So, how does this happen ?

britrock88 · 01-24-2013, 10:10 PM

(Highly paraphrased / only conceptually accurate description)

By staring at something for a bit, the rods/cones (one set of things processes color, the other B/W, I forget which) at the back of your eye habituate to the strength of color they're seeing. So when you switch your gaze to a perfectly contrasted background (black to white), the rods/cones have to "warm up" temporarily from the color-saturated background and image to the white background. So there's a bit of residual color in your vision for a couple seconds.

Something's wrong with your "rod".

I HATE bridges and tunnels to a lesser extent. But yes, when I saw that picture, the first thing I thought was, "Nope".

Jughead Spock · 01-25-2013, 11:52 AM

This just seemed far too appropriate.

How do you feel about covered bridges...essentially tunnel bridges?

If it was a covered bridge, but, a bridge the size of the one in the picture, that would just be freaky. Blah!

For those struggling with bridges in the first place-

I am not sure what to say on this one-
