The Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, is the name given to a former trolley bridge that is now covered in a garden throughout its length.

I started with "four arch concrete bridge", which led me to a postcard with a similar looking bridge in Peru, IN. I then used "concrete bridge Peru, IN", which led to a results page with a postcard of The Bridge of Flowers. Then I wiki'd it.

On August 28, 2011, rain runoff from Hurricane Irene (at that point a tropical storm) flooded the Deerfield River and engulfed the Bridge of Flowers.

Clever, grav. I tried but couldn't find it.

Gravdigr · 01-07-2012, 11:55 AM

It was that 'in the Americas' bit, I bet.

I spent about twenty minutes trying to figure out how many hemispheres I'd narrrowed it down to. Then I gave up.

I was a little buzzed.

Where oh where?

Looks like a toxic waste site.

glatt · 01-11-2012, 08:36 AM

or a little like salt flats, but there's a lot of vegetation, and the flat area is also pretty small.

Spexxvet · 01-11-2012, 08:51 AM

Do you think it's floating algae on snow or ice covered water, or with a high salt content?

infinite monkey · 01-11-2012, 09:20 AM

Nope! Though that would be a yummy place to live (sorry if I'm egging you on, but it's a good yolk.)

First wild guess: Burning Man festival (Black Rock City) near Gerlach NV ?

infinite monkey · 01-11-2012, 09:37 AM

No sir, not NV.

I have to go to a webinar so I'll be back in about an hour and a half!

San Pedro de Atacama, Chile?
Lake Natron in northern Tanzania?
Laguna Colorada, Bolivia?

infinite monkey · 01-11-2012, 03:49 PM

No

I guess I should give some kind of hint. It's in the Americas.

As for searching by characteristic, how would you describe it?
