similarities
I remember when I saw this a couple of years ago – I almost hyperventilated at the sight of two things that were so different, yet somehow almost the same.
I remember my traveling companions rolling their eyes at my breathless state.
I remember making the photo.
What I don’t remember is why I never got around to posting it until now…

I first discovered this bridge in 2020: I saw a sign on the highway that said “Regency Bridge” which made me say to myself, “Sure. Why not?”
It’s a narrow suspension bridge with a wooden deck, spanning the Colorado River.
Now I pay it a visit any time I’m in the area. This time I was interested in the cables and the bolts and the other stuff that keeps the bridge, well, suspended.

nine lots for sale
It was really hot the day I was in Lampasas, but the local museum was not only open but nicely air-conditioned. After I spent some time inside looking around, I went back out and walked down an alley, because of course alleys often have things in them that need to be photographed.
And that’s how I found this.
Now, I’m not a marketing person, but it does seem like in a shed off an alley may not be the best location to advertise those nine lots….
