Looking for photos for today’s Cee’s Fun Fotos Bridge Challenge I remembered I was terrified of bridges as a small child. So frightened I hid in the backseat and covered he head so I couldn’t see or hear the bridge. You see we often crossed a wooden bridge over the Arkansas River,that snapped, popped and cracked as we crossed it. I was sure something terrible would happen as we crossed it. My dad finally drove me over it, insisting I sit up and look, as he talked gently to me all the way across. “Look over there that’s I swam across” he then went on to tell me all about this childhood adventure, distracted I forgot to be afraid. Years later I was sad when I heard that old bride was taken down and replaced. Now I make sure we visit bridges wherever we go. This last summer we saw The London Bridge
The Clifton Bridge in Bristol England The worlds first Suspension Bridge
And Many bridges on the Scene in Paris I’m including this one because of the View of Notre Dame
Here Are some bridges from closer to home



And Golden Gate Bridge At Sunset

The banner photo is a Roman Bridge in Bath England
Also for Which Way Challenge
The Japanese tea garden bridge caught my eye. I’m assuming that is steps on that bridge 😀

I love the spillway below the Roman bridge in your header, and of course the GGB. That sunset illustrates what it’s like to be on Swing shift in the month of December. Great memories and lovely photos.

Every thing turns pink, gold and silver, like what you call a jewel box in December.
The spillway is called a weir sp? Used to slow the flow of a River. They are striking,

On the boat tour we went on he gave us a history of the river as transportation from London to Bristol and why weirs were important. Weirdos have been around long before Summer of Love in SF 🤡

The Golden Gate at sunset is lovely. The colors are wonderful. It’s interesting how our fears seem so groundless once we overcome them. 🙂

Yes I love those colors too. We need to remember children do have tender feelings. Well maybe all do.

Yes, definitely. So often they’re trampled on by unthinking adults and other kids.

You are so right. Our daughter was terrified of swings and dogs. Later we couldn’t get her off the swings and we had a dog for years. Fortunately we were patient with her.
