Peace Bridge

Ugh.  This is another one of those pictures which I chose a long time ago, and, looking at it now, I can't understand why I chose it because today it just looks boring to me.  Maybe it will look much cooler with the black backdrop I've chosen for my blog, but still...

Anyway, I suppose I chose this picture to give you a better idea of what Ulaanbaatar looks like (because Lonely Planet didn't give me any clues-- just a bunch of landscape pictures, remember?).  This is Peace Bridge, which is South of the city centre.  I walk over Peace Bridge every time I go into the city centre, and you might read about it when you read about Ulaanbaatar (I know I had read about it before I got here), although, now that I look really closely at my map in my Lonely Planet, it's not actually marked on the map.  Oh well, it's not like the bridge really goes over any kind of body of water, the way bridges normally do.  To me, it's more of an overpass, although "Peace Overpass" does not have the same ring to it as "Peace Bridge" does.
