Well, it seems that I am almost done with the Hunt, it is only one item missing: Old Bridge. I must find an old bridge ! But, alas ! No river in Ploiesti. As a consequence, no bridge, old or new. There are some railway bridges, but they are neither old, nor interesting. What can I do, what can I do... There must be something. I went to www.dictionary.com , and what I found :
bridge1  /brɪdʒ/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[brij] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation noun, verb, bridged, bridg‧ing, adjective
–noun
1. a structure spanning and providing passage over a river, chasm, road, or the like.
2. a connecting, transitional, or intermediate route or phase between two adjacent elements, activities, conditions, or the like: Working at the hospital was a bridge between medical school and private practice.
3. Nautical.
a. a raised transverse platform from which a power vessel is navigated: often includes a pilot house and a chart house.
b. any of various other raised platforms from which the navigation or docking of a vessel is supervised.
c. a bridge house or bridge superstructure.
d. a raised walkway running fore-and-aft.
4. Anatomy. the ridge or upper line of the nose.
5. Dentistry. an artificial replacement, fixed or removable, of a missing tooth or teeth, supported by natural teeth or roots adjacent to the space.
6. Music.
a. a thin, fixed wedge or support raising the strings of a musical instrument above the sounding board.
b. a transitional, modulatory passage connecting sections of a composition or movement.
c. (in jazz and popular music) the contrasting third group of eight bars in a thirty-two-bar chorus; channel; release.
7. Also, bridge passage. a passage in a literary work or a scene in a play serving as a movement between two other passages or scenes of greater importance.
8. Ophthalmology. the part of a pair of eyeglasses that joins the two lenses and rests on the bridge or sides of the nose.
That's it ! Ophthalmology ! I am saved. Took a pair of old sun-glasses (I think they are 30 years or something old), put them in a context, photograph them. They have a bridge, that is the middle part between the lenses. They are old, this means that they have an old bridge. If the dictionary says so...

Hi Andreea
I like the idea of this photograph and the theme you were following. However I don't think it is not up to the standard of your other postings. The moody lighting is spot on, but in my view the reflection of the candle flame on the glass of the frame draws the eye from the centre of focus, which unfortunately is not the bridge of the pair of spectacles.
Regards
Will

Hi Andreea,
This is a very beautiful composition with a great warmt mood with this candle light. There is just the reflection of the candlelightg on the frame that kind of disturb a little bit my eyes. But it is still very beautiful and a very creative cpmposition on the bridge. TFS

Yes--- an OLD bridge !! Very original and nicely done. TFS Julie

Hi Andreea
You made me smile with your logical researh and your finding of "Ophthalmalogy" and the bridge of glasses. Good work. I think the sunglasses are Raybans(collector's item) Like your presentation and its composition, sunglasses with candlelight. Thank You
