A Bridge Would Be Nice Here
A customer contacted me and asked if I could build a bridge. She showed me a photo of a half round stone bridge she liked. We found one more graceful we liked better.

I found this photo online. From somewhere in England I believe. We both liked the shape and decided to somewhat duplicate the center portion.
