Walking on The Water Pt.3



Once a common sight, swinging bridges are now quite rare in our area. I remember a number of them from my childhood. Built and maintained by our township road crew they were a vital link to civilization for the families who lived where only a low water fording afforded vehicle access to their home. This bridge is private and was erected by its owner to afford him easy hunting access to his mountain land.

Beautiful icicles contrast nicely with the green fern in the background

This post concludes the Walking on the Water Series
I hope you have enjoyed it. Soon winter will be past and only the memories and photographs will endure to remind us that on some days even we can

I've really enjoyed this series. They have all been great, but I love the Icicles and the frozen ripples on the water in the last shot.

Brrrrrr.. dang that looks cold. Those icicles are awesome. I've missed a few of your posts and just looked back. I love the animal tracks in the snow.
