Photo Hunt - Bridge

bydamanti 

There's nothing special about this photo, but there is something special about this bridge.  It's the Walnut Street Bridge in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  It was built in 1890 to connect the city's downtown with the North Shore and did so until 1978 when it was deemed unsafe.  It sat there for nearly a decade, but when it was going to be torn down local citizens convinced the city to commit the funds earmarked for the bridge's demolition to its restoration, providing the balance of the renovation cost could be raised.  And it was.  It's now one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the world and provides for not only a beautiful stroll to and from the now thriving North Shore District...but also a gathering place for people to enjoy events on and around the Tennessee River.

Post Note

A few of you have already seen this post.  It was prematurely published a week or so ago.  I was lining some posts up ahead of time since early February will be a busy time and guess I forgot to enter the right date. Sorry for the re-run.

Photo Hunt - Strings

bydamanti

This scene caught my eye while in Alexandria, Virginia...children tethered together on a rope...I'm calling it a string today.  I'm told that this is a scene repeated numerous times every day.  It seemed that way.  I think I was the only one around to have given it a second look.

Old Town Doors

My photographic goal for my trip to DC was to get some pictures of old doors in Alexandria's Old Town. There were plenty to choose from and I snapped away...but perspective proved to be a problem.  Most of what I shot was disappointing in the translation from three to two dimensions.  Only these three shots did not get deleted.

The fact that I only got three keepers is OK.  I'm pleased to have them, had fun taking them, and enjoyed walking the streets of Old Town.  I couldn't help but feel the history in the air as I walked along the same streets that Washington, et al walked.  Pretty cool!
