We don’t usually think about infrastructure—we use it. Highways, airports, train stations… always there in the background, quietly keeping us connected. But every beam, bridge, and terminal is the result of engineers and builders putting in massive effort to make it work.
It might not look simple, but when you pause—like with the image below—you start to see how unique these structures really are. That’s what this subreddit is all about: sharing the beauty of infrastructure from around the world. Scroll down, and maybe you’ll notice the structures in your own area a little differently next time.
