Red Line bridge is patriotic
You know how this works: you pack up the camera after having taken approximately one billion photographs* at the extremely photogenic and historic cemetery. And you start walking back to catch the train. Then you see “USA” painted on the bridge. You have a brief debate with yourself. Unpack camera and get the shot? Keep walking? (Repeat, rapidly, three times.)
Then you take the shot. You knew how the debate would end. But, still, you had to have it.

*Editor’s Note: OF COURSE it wasn’t one billion photographs. It was 139. Some people may have a tendency to exaggerate.
“Meow,” said the bridge
Spring’s warm weather was on its own timetable. While it looked warm enough outside, it was a cold, windy day.
I liked Ann Arbor; I’d be willing to go back and look around some more. In my short stay there, I saw some interesting things. Including this graffiti-encrusted railroad bridge, which I think is quite lovely. Plus, it says, “Meow.” How can you NOT like a bridge that meows at you?

PS – This is the 500th post here on One Day | One Image and it seems like a good time to thank everyone who takes the time to stop by, look around, or comment. It’s been fun, and I hope to be around for at least 500 more posts!
PS, part 2: One of my followers (LensScaper, I am looking at you) wondered what this looked like in color. Here at One Day | One Image, we are happy to oblige:
