The Littlest Bridge

Barley, a dog, stands in front of a tiny drainage furrow, bridged by five cinderblocks turned on their sides.

Now this is an application of cinderblocks that I can get behind! As far as I’m concerned, if a structure (a) can support your full weight as you stand on it, and yet (b) allows some sort of flow or passage beneath your feet, then it’s a bridge. Given the size of my feet, and the length of Barley’s body, this might well be the absolutely smallest structure that counts as a bridge for the both of us. Granted, Barley would need to stand sideways on the blocks, but she could definitely do it! She hasn’t done so yet in this picture, of course. We’ll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it.
