Who would have thought that a bridge over a freeway could be so good-looking. Of course, it helps if the setting includes a wide expanse of river and blue sky! Como, Perth, Western Australia. This shot demonstrates the value of walking through a scene to get new perspectives.

This is where we spent a wonderful day out with Ron (sundawg7) in October this Fall, Webster’s Falls, noted for its panoramas, is a 22 metre high classical curtain/ plunge waterfall found in the Spencer Gorge / Webster’s Falls Conservation Area in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The water flows down Spencer Creek. In the past known as Spencer Falls, Hart Falls, Fisher Falls and Flamborough Falls.[1] Webster Falls, with its 30 metres (98 ft) crest, it is the largest within the city. Ownership of this land changed many hands until 1819 when the land was owned by the Webster family; the house is on Webster’s Falls Road. Today the land is owned by the Hamilton Conservation Authority. There are washroom facilities, picnic tables (20) and sheltered areas at the top of Webster’s Falls and parking area for 75 cars. There’s a cobblestone footbridge, (built in 1936) that crosses over Spencer Creek to the west side that leads to a series of stairs, (122-steps), down to the base. Other nearby attractions include a convenience store and an antique shop.[2] The Bruce Trail runs through this area, popular with hikers and family picnics. Improvements to the existing trail have been made. Baby Webster’s Falls is a 20 metre high ribbon/plunge waterfall found near Webster’s Falls. Is located to the right of the stairway leading down to the base of the Webster’s Falls.

It is located in the Trebbia River valley southwest of the town Piacenza. Known to the ancients as Bobium or Ebovium, it underwent many settlements from the Neolithic Age up to the contemporary one. Several archaeological finds testify to the presence of Liguri, Boii (Gauls of Celtic origin), and from the fourteenth century B.C. the Romans. But the history of Bobbio is tied to the existence of the Abbey founded in 614 by the Irish monk Saint Columbanus (It. Colombano), who received this district from the Longobard King Agilulf. Bobbio Abbey increased its possessions and became one of the principal seats of culture and religion of Northern Italy and a center of learning during the Middle Ages, and was renowned for its famous Scriptorium and Library, in the 10th century there were 700 codes; but its decline in the 15th century led to the dispersal of the library. The monastery was officially suppressed by the French in 1803. This monastery is in part the model for the great monastery in Umberto Eco’s novel The Name of the Rose Nikon D100 Nikkor AF-S VR 70-300mm f/4,5-5,6 IF-ED

Looking down the length of a bridge that crosses the Duwamish River in Tukwila, WA, creates an optical illusion of sorts; in reality, the bridge isn’t more than maybe 75 feet long. Taken with a Kodak easyshare V1003 with no viewfinder. Featured in the Which Way Group / Featured in the Bridges Group

(Motivation for asking for this group to be set up, was being reminded of a favourite book, for young teenagers: Bridge to Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson.)
In line with the popularity of challenges set in RedBubble groups, challenges have been set in this Bridges Group for some time. If you decide to accept these challenges, please enter in the spirit in which they are intended. Please do not try to persuade friends to ruin the spirit by voting for the artist rather than his or her work.
It’s meant to be fun and to be motivation.
PERSONAL NOTE: I have just returned to Sydney, after 5 weeks in a “Winter Wonderland” (the Netherlands). Shall get back to keeping a 100% eye on this group, soon!
