This rather unassuming #bridge joins two buildings on the #NewMuseumsSite of the University of Cambridge (UK).
View rather improved by the tree of heaven that surrounded it (which sadly was felled at least six years ago).

Seen from below, a narrow enclosed rectangular walkway with glass windows and a corrugated roof spans diagonally at third-floor level from the decorative stonemasonry on the corner of one building to the right to a more prosaic brown brick building on the left. A tree, with two slender intertwined trunks and sparse but vivid red and orange leaves, grows from the clutter at ground level into the sunlight, both in front of and behind the bridge, into a pale blue sky.

If you see this toot... Quote toot a bridge.

This is a silly bridge in Birmingham Gas Street Basin (lots of canals meeting in the city centre). One of my faves. I walked underneath it most days, but rarely crossed it because it only goes to [checks notes] the middle of the water.

A view of a canal basin with several narrowboats and red-brick buildings in the background. There is a small pretty bridge. It is painted white with black railings along the side. It appears to start halfway up the buildings on the right of the picture, cross over the canal footpath and land on a brick structure in the middle of the water. A bright yellow houseboat is squeezing through underneath it.
