Instead of bricks, mortar or even standard planks of wood, the village of Cherrapunji in the state of Meghalaya – known as one of the wettest places in the world – builds bridges out of tree roots. The local War-Khasis tribe learned long ago how to tame the roots of the native ficus to grow in a certain direction, using bamboo as support. Some of the bridges are more than 30m long and can support the weight of 50 people. More bizarre bridges can be found here.

Well, that was a Mountain Dew spewing moment! 
Why in the world would BBC.com be blocked from the UK?!?

Probably by order of the Upper-Class-Twit-of-the-Year ?
This esp needs to be in nwn, along w the rock spire too 
Also very inspiring...
A few more for good measure:
Well, the grass and forest covered bridges the highway goes under, looks a lot like the Trans Canada Highway that runs through Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. They're designed to keep roadkill at a minimum, and there are high wired fences that run parallel to the roads. Deer, Moose, Elk and Black Bears make use of these passages.
The second last bridge reminded me a lot of a bridge in Darjeeling, India during my hike into Gangtok.
Never made it into Meghalaya myself though. When I see that first picture by Grymlorde, I immediately hear the music for Kuldahar from Icewind Dale in my head.
So, what tileset artist is getting down to work?
FP!
Or just google fantasy bridge OR bridges, then look at the images tab. Nice pics.
