Bridges come in all shapes and sizes, and are made from a whole manner of materials.
Some span vast spaces, others get you across a stream with dry feet.
But having set the members of the Leader Camera Club a weekend challenge on the theme of bridges, one thing is for certain - they are incredibly photogenic!
Here are just a small amount of the fantastic images posted to the friendly group, made up of professionals and amateur photographers.
To see more of our members' bridges shots, or the variety of other images shared daily, or to join, visit the Leader Camera Club Facebook group.
Photos can also be sent to claire.pierce@newsquest.co.uk
We print daily pages in the Leader featuring members' work, with regular online galleries - see our most recent here.
And there are plenty of chances for a bit of extra creativity with our topic challenges, which have included colour - yellow and green - monochrome, and transport.
Or maybe natural events such as the Snow Moon earlier this year and the spectacular frozen wonderland.
