In honor of Patrick's 40th birthday, I present for your enjoyment this collection of 40 self-portraits of Patrick while visiting suspension bridges. Patrick never visits a bridge without his trusty tripod. In most of the photos, you'll see Patrick holding a board with a number. This indicates the order in which Patrick visited the bridge in his renewed efforts to visit cable-supported bridges.

And since it's Patrick's 40th birthday, let's add one more "to grow on" as is customary for birthdays. As can be evidenced by this photo, old man O'Donnell sometimes needs his helper (daughter Sarah) to hold the bridge counter for him.
