I posted this a few days ago but was encouraged to post it for Sunday Bridges. This is part of Silver Creek, just outside of the town I live in. The creek is engorged with runoff water created by the last snow melt a few days back. If you look closely there are four waterfalls. It is a historical reminder of the great craftsmanship that once was. Very few bridges like this left to see.
Here you can see the road goes over the creek by way of a one lane bridge. This is such a lovely old bridge. I hope they preserve and repair it, not remove it for something more functional.
The bridge, the raging water, and your photo of them have such energy. I'd love to hear the rush of that stream!
Barb said it best! I hope, if they do any repairs, they don't compromise the integrity of the bridge. I shot a few pics of an old waterway just a few weeks ago, but cement repairs stuck out like a sore thumb!!! ~karen
You have a wonderful artist's eye. Hope your new career is really going well. By the way you missed your century, the Victorians were heavily into fairies and water sprites - oh, and photography!
Barb- I actually took video of some falls a little upstream to this I will post those this week.
Karen- It was so peaceful. Not a soul in sight!
Carole - Thank you so much! Maybe I can start a new wave of looking for fairies and sprites!
Another great set of photos in this and the previous post. That bridge is beautiful.
Gorgeous! Amazing the beauty that can be found! Thank you for participating!
Rushing water always makes such great photos. You are right about the bridge & it really is a work of art!
Oh NOW I want to find this spot! I like these photos a LOT!
awesome. I can "see" the fairies & sprites, thanks for the imagery for the eyes & mind! thanks for stopping by & linking up as well :)
Faythe @ GMT
oohhh.... simply beautiful!!!
gorgeous photos. (over here from deb's...)
wonderful bridge indeed!
Oh, they have so much energy...great bridge too.
Very, very pretty. Yes, I can imagine those water fairies, too. :)
You should post the link to this bridge this coming Sunday at «Louis'» Sunday Bridges.
I love the sound of streams rushing over the rocks. I could almost hear it through your shots. - Margy
i could feel the rush of water in your photos.
Count me in with EG Wow. I also need to find the bridge. Have you ever thought about adding a location gadget to you postings?
This is really an old lovely bridge! Great shots!
A lovely old bridge indeed. Beautiful the way the archway constrains the water to make a much more effective photo. Should it become impractical for traffic, I hove they re-route the road over a new bridge far enough away not to spoil this one and leave the old bridge and cut off stretch of road as a bike and walking trail.
Now there's a wonderful beginning for a children's book!
a lovely old bridge. I think the last shot is the better one. And like yo, I think it should be preserved.
Love it. The shot would make a really pretty painting.
EG and Andy and I may just have a rendezvous looking for this bridge! (I copied directions)
MY bridge is at Palletta House in Burlington. On Lakeshore Rd just east of Walkers Line. There is a small conservation park to the east of the house with a nice trail.
Ah lovely! ;-) So beautiful, so perfect for letting the imagination run wild!
Thanks for your comment, I had to laugh because you missed my bridge altogether, lol! :-)
Great shots of the scenic bridge, with its water fringed with ice and snow.
Awesome!
Happy new week ahead.
That is lovely little bridge and the winter water is flowing rapidly.
Lorac, that's an amazing stone arch bridge! What's the provenance? Thanks for stopping by at EcoRover.
