Not my list, and I don't know, but I don't think it was ranked in order. If I was, #22 and #16 should both be much higher, IMO. Still, we did get recognized.

Could they have picked a worse picture for it?

Yeah, stand on the Eau Claire side and take a picture on a cloudy day heading towards Sunnyside. Ugh.

I'm planning a Spain trip and I'm now adding a diversion to see this to it.

Some notable omissions on that list. Like, where's the Brooklyn Bridge? Golden Gate?

Indeed, much better from the Sunnyside angle:

#21 is my favorite, and I'm not sure the bridge has anything to do with it.

Like seriously, this is the picture they go with? Even the other two weren't great. Combine all three pictures with no hint of our skyline or anything and people will think it's some neat bridge over a canal in a large town lol.




With three pictures for each bridge, why not go this route?







So many great shots of the bridge, and so many unique angles. And they just go with three bland shots. Boo.

All I see here is a thin opportunity to re-post some mediocre photography like the slut I am.

There are a lot of pictures of the bridges lit up at night. I wish we did more of that.

I actually think we're pretty good on this count. The only reason Langevin is remotely photogenic is because of the lighting. Centre Street, Louise, Peace bridge are all lit up at night - Centre Street bridge is actually too bright for a photography most of the time... I wish they'd dim it down!
