The Bridge – Part Two
My second visit to the bridge was very different from my first. Aside from the view being very different the atmosphere was too! This time the bridge was just about empty, it was a simple case of two officers keeping watch and that was about it, until we arrived! It was very relaxed, and it…
The Bridge – Part One
