A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I'm not saying I'm a bridge expert but I do believe myself to be a connoisseur on bridges but It seems to me that they have forgotten to build the road way. Overall I give it a 5/10 in bridge design. However if it was designed to be a foot bridge, despite my reading up on the contrary I would raise the ranking to 9/10.

Whale Biologist here, that bridge in its current state is unlikely to hold a whale. I recommend making it more whale friendly to encourage tourism.

Video game developer here, I can confirm that we can fit a decent 10 minute encounter on to this bridge. We'll need more paths from one side to the other and there may be rendering issues with all that fog but we'll figure it out!

[–]Titanomachy 1 point2 points ago

Hmm make sure you install roadway-lib and its dependencies first. You'll need a fortran compiler and probably roadway-lang-no so that the Norweigians will be able to understand their install.

[–]gx6wxwb 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Clearly the (pre-alpha) road plugin wasnt enabled in the ini file. The default is for there to be no road or walkway whatsoever because the developer (who never leaves his basement) for some crazed reason really thinks that the average user would prefer to compile their own.

Lazy unemployed geek in terrible shape here. Careful observation leads me to believe that this bridge is far too long for me to successfully walk across. Coupled with the lack of fast food joints at regular intervals where I could rest, warm myself and eat some burgers I have to conclude that any attempt at crossing this bridge would be highly dangerous. I shall file a complaint with OSHA and demand that Segways be provided at both ends of the bridge.

It's not a road bridge! Norwegians don't drive.

Yeah that's downhill mountain biking; I've ridden some of the World Cup DH tracks and the one he is riding there is known as the hardest. The conditions were so bad that most riders just slid down most of it on their ass; while Danny (it was his first year in World Champs) went and completely smashed it. Most talented rider I have ever seen.

Also the commentators are ex-riders from the UK who know Danny, the guy shouting the most is Rob Warner who is known for being a total legend and getting drunk at every race.

[–]ammerique 50 points51 points ago

Wow, thanks for the background, very awesome of you to share this as it's an incredible run to watch alone but knowing the rest makes it even more epic. I wish more commentators would get drunk at work.

Anyone interested in seeing the whole event head over the Freecaster and watch the two and a half hour replay. It's gives a very good perspective seeing alot of guys crashing several times and compare it to Danny's run.

Best worldchamps I ever watched, glad I paid the 15 bucks. And at the same time sad that the numbnuts over at UCI killed the web coverage for next year demanding a shitload of money.

Well, that depends on how you define winter.

If I should do a wild guess, I think that OP are referring to the arrival of cold and snow, and not 14th October which is the official first winter day in Norway.

I don't know what part of Norway you live in, but I can assure you that the words "cold" and "snow" were indeed very much relevant words the last couple of months.

Fortunately, they're Norwegian, and Norwegians simply do not give a fuck about the cold.

this reminds me of the bridge you have to cross in half life 2 during highway 17!

I thought the same thing. Only this actually looks 10 times scarier.

[–]bearshy 8 points9 points ago

Can someone show me an example of how a bridge like this would look finished? The way it looks right now just makes no sense in my brain.

Or is that just a double sided walking bridge? It looks insane.

Imagine something like this, but on a larger scale. Norway's got a knack for strange infrastructure.

Its called the Atlantic Road and its one of the best drives in the world.

Ahh this is so awesome! I live about 20minutes from the Atlantic road (Averøy)! Remember to watch out for Germans fishing from the sides of those bridges and their house trailers ;) (Is that the correct term? Can't remember what the huge cars with beds and kitchens and stuff is called in Engrish)

Thanks!! We call them RVs I think, or the old folks call them motor-homes. There was a post on the front page a few days back about the really cool 14th century (I think?) church in Norway, so now I am double super excited to visit!

On the 2nd picture, it looks like a ramp.

It's a suspension bridge. Most bridges in West Norway are. Like this, only bigger: http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil:Osteroybroen.JPG

So the guys in the picture are standing on the support cables between the towers. I'm no structural engineer, but I figure the massive cables/platforms they are standing on will be connected to the road deck below and guide the weight of the road surface onto the pillars on each end of the bridge.

The snow and fog makes the picture pretty eerie.

[–]bearshy 1 point2 points ago

Oh okay. So the guys in the original post are still pretty early in the process then?

[–]marvin 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, I didn't even know they were this far along in the construction. Was a major political squabble to get this bridge project approved. But from what I understand they put up the towers and support cables first, then add the actual road component afterwards.

[–]EngieAtWork 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I hope they put the cables up first. It'll be embarrassing when the road just drops down into the water.

Here is the official site for the project: http://www.vegvesen.no/Vegprosjekter/Hardangerbrua

The picture is from building the support cables. The towers and cables are most of the work of a suspension bridge. The roadbed is built last.

The towers are 200m over the sea. 55m tall ships will be able to pass under the bridge.

Norway never seize to build even more bridges and more tunnels; simply because they can.

I still have a bit hard to understand the mountains are so huge there, it's nothing quite like that in Sweden.

You should see our long term plans for additional architectural highlights called the "National Tourist Routes". We're basically building amazing attractions just because we can :)
