See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt is watching moveable bridges
Closed down in Oudewater.The town has both a rope and a witch weighing house museum. Witches were supposed to be very light to be able to fly, they wouldn't have needed to use bridges unless they were travelling incognito.

Netherlands is a good place to find moveable bridges! Nice touch having traffic lights for the waterway.
Movable bridges always amaze me! I like the dramatic view of the first postcard: is that a sunset?
Netherlands is the first country I thought of, as I don't know any moveable bridge around here. But, thanks to Sunday Stamps I am learning that moveable bridges are not so scarce.
For some reason, the first image made me think of Waterloo sunset... (Which is a good thing because I love the song...;-) )
I took a long interesting trip into witch weighing! I hadn't hear that, however it's the same basic thing as tossing a woman into water and if she floated (or knew how to swim) she was a witch. Sink, she'd drown, but wasn't a witch. The sunset in Saint Petersburg is beautiful.
