I've never seen a bow like this R. How odd, no windows for the drivers to look out. Thanks for the post.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

I would have never wanted to be on a car carrier for two reasons : They drift like hell with the wind and the bridge is right close to the bow. Nice capture!
