I am excited to be your host this week. The challenge is for you to show us your favorite bridge images. You can feature any kind of bridge: natural bridges, foot bridges, swinging bridges, highway bridges, stone bridges, railroad bridges, or any other kind of bridge you can think of.

I live in an area where there are many bridges. I have to cross a bridge over a creek just to leave my neighborhood. I have seen many kinds of bridges during my travels and enjoy photographing them. I hope the following bridges from our travels will give you a few ideas. I can’t wait to see your responses.

Last week John challenged us to show Places Shaped by Water. Your responses were amazing. Thank you to everyone who joined the challenge.

I’m looking forward to seeing your bridges. Please limit your responses to no more than 10 images and be sure to tag your post with Lens-Artists and include a link back to this post.

Be sure to check back on Saturday, September 19 at noon eastern time when Ann-Christine will be our host.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #310 – ZigZag

August 10, 2024Posted in PhotographyTagged bridges, Lens-Artists, Photo Challenge, ZigZag22 Comments

When I read Patti’s challenge was ZigZag I didn’t think I had any images that would work. As I went through my photo archives I was surprised by what I found.

Bridges with ZigZags

Zigzags in Ireland

Rivers that Zig and Zag

Roads that ZigZag. I had too many to include them all so I chose this one that descends into Palo Duro Canyon in Texas.

Many thanks to our host Patti for her challenge Lens-Artists #310 – Zigzag

A Few Favorite Bridges

September 28, 2023Posted in PhotographyTagged bridges, Sunday Stills25 Comments

For this month’s Sunday Stills Challenge Terri asks us to explore bridges.

I live in an area with many creeks, rivers and large areas of salt marsh. Whenever I leave my neighborhood to go anywhere I have to cross several bridges. My header image is of the Talmadge Bridge in nearby Savannah, Georgia.

We’ve seen many bridges in our travels – highway bridges across wide rivers, walking bridges, covered bridges, and swinging bridges. The following images are of a few of my favorite bridges from around the United States.

Suspension Bridge over Tallulah Gorge, Georgia

Imes Covered Bridge, Madison County, Iowa

Two bridges crossing the mighty Mississippi River in Vicksburg, Mississippi

Bridge over Kentucky River at the Wild Turkey Distillery

Next up are a few favorite bridges from our travels in Ireland and Scotland.
