Walking on Water
Nothing lifts our spirits like a pedestrian bridge. Here's a photo essay showing some of the world’s best from the PPS Image Collection.

edestrian bridges come in all shapes and sizes, but they all offer a sense of pleasure. They bring you right out over the water yet still keep you at a tantalizing (and dry) distance. Many of the best waterfronts around the world are beloved for their great pedestrian bridges, but there is no one way to do it. This gallery from the PPS Image Collection shows pedestrian spans and other waterfront walkways in all their variety, from the ornate and intimate to the sleek and modern.
