There is 2 bridges in that picture?  If there is then they are well camouflaged.  Why are all the tree trunks painted white?

Brides not bridges ). I think they paint the tree trunks white to keep some of the pest insects away.

Ha!  I read it wrong.  The brides are under the trees on the right.  One is standing with the groom.  The other looks like she might be sitting and talking to another woman maybe the photographer.

I think she is also standing but just pulled her dress up a bit.

funny, I misread the title as the name thing.

[topum.livejournal.com]

You are the third person to misread the title ), diejacobsleiter misread it as "birdies".

I can see two obvious brides on the right, but am unclear as to whether one of the pairs of blue legs on the left, or the rather austere leather-clad lady, are further brides.

Is Transnistria the kind of place where brides are automatically identifiable via giant white meringue-dresses?

[topum.livejournal.com]

From what we have seen, yes. And those dresses never seem to be soft white (I am sure there are better names for it) but are this clinical harsh fluorescent kind of white.

At first sight (without glasses) I've read it "Find the birdies". And thought: WTF happened to him? Georgian gang with barrels of wine again?

[topum.livejournal.com]

You re not the first to have misread this, beautesauvage13 tried to find two bridges in this photo above.

[diejacobsleiter.livejournal.com]

Great minds think alike. Then, we are right, and something happened to you.

[topum.livejournal.com]

Nope, it is you, guys ).

You should respect the people's voting. It's democracy. No riots, please.

[topum.livejournal.com]

Facts are facts though and voting against that won't change that. It is written "brides" there and no voting will change that ). But good try ).

[diejacobsleiter.livejournal.com]

OK, I'll talk to my lawer.

[topum.livejournal.com]

Don't waste your money feeding those shark. Riot instead (as useless but at least much cheaper).

[found-world.livejournal.com]

I see them now. But, the first time I read your entry title I thought it was "find the bridges". That may have been before my coffee kicked in. Or maybe I just misread.

[topum.livejournal.com]

There is something about this title that makes a lot of people misread it it seems.

[found-world.livejournal.com]

It's interesting from a psychology perspective. I wonder if it's because of the picture? Maybe the context lends itself to people interpreting the word as bridges or birds more than brides. I don't know.

[topum.livejournal.com]

I think it is because "bride" is not very often used in plural.

[wanderipity.livejournal.com]

Interesting

[topum.livejournal.com]

I am a big fan of bride-filled streets ).

[prorsus.livejournal.com]

Got them. The one sitting with a boy on the right might become the third one soon ).

[topum.livejournal.com]

Might have already happened even ).

Are their dresses identical too?

[topum.livejournal.com]

No, they weren't.

[zhelana.livejournal.com]

Why are the trees painted white?

[topum.livejournal.com]

To protect them from some types of pest insects we were told.
