Caption

Probably the longest bridge in Africa (12km long).

Photography of bridges or from a bridge is illegal in Egypt (Emergency Law) which I think protects Egypt from sharing the ugliness of this bridge with the world.

I took a taxi from one end of the bridge to other end. I explained to the taxi driver, Hamdi, that I'm on a photography assignment about 'bridges', real ones or metaphorical.

I took snapshots during our ride and asked him my theme question.
The result was put together in a QTVR-ish answer.
