In 2019, instead of celebrating 50 years since the summer of love, we celebrated 150 years of engineering withstanding the test of time with the summer of #viaducts. I didn’t participate in any of the official programming, but I did go take some photos and tweeted about it… thread on X.

There was ONE THING I wanted to do but couldn’t, ride a train over there’s viaducts built 150 years ago. This time I did.

As summer is upon us you’ll be seeing a quantity of travel tweets from Europe with pictures of pedestrianized streets, sidewalk cafes, and bike lanes. Let me inspire you to take a detour to a weightier photo subject. Folks, it’s the Summer of Viaducts in France
