A shot taken of the New River Gorge Bridge from a light aircraft. The steel arch bridge sits 3,030 feet (924 m) long over the New River Gorge near Fayetteville, Fayetteville, in the Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States. With an arch 1,700 feet (518 m) long the New River Gorge Bridge was for many years the world's longest single-span arch bridge and is now the third longest. The roadway crossing the New River Gorge Bridge at 876 feet (267 m) above the New River makes it one of the highest vehicular bridges in the world, and is currently the third highest in the United States. The bridge sits within the US National Park Service's New River Gorge National River area. West Virginia, USA

Given how much world media the US presidential election is getting I thought I would post one of Capitol Hill from a few weeks back. The United States Capitol is the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government. Located on the eastern end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C it sits across what is known Capitol Hill. Construction started in 1793, with the first session of congress being held in 1800. It was subsequently burnt down by the British in the war of 1812, with rebuilding ongoing until 1826. The original more modest dome was replaced with the current iconic version in renovations which were completed in 1863.
