the crossing of things

 

This place is unbelievable – I walked across the bridge and looked down (way the hell down!) to the river below. I tried to imagine what it would be like to see a kayak going by and what the kayaker’s view up would be. I tried not to notice how much the bridge vibrated when trucks drove by. I tried not to think about how freaking many trucks there were. And I tried to make it all the way across before I had a heat stroke.

Oh, and I took some photos, too.

You know how sometimes you pull into a little town and it seems friendly and you think about stopping for lunch or a coffee so you can have little bit of time chatting with the locals? And then later you check VBRO because it seems like maybe you’d like to go back for a long weekend and you wonder what your options are?

This town is…not that sort of place.

4 hearts

It looked like the church had had a Valentine’s dinner that weekend and decided the decorations were festive enough to leave up for a few more days.

co-exist

I’ve driven by this place a few times lately and the juxtaposition of the two signs has entertained me every time. So, the other day I finally did what any self-respecting photographer ought to do: I took the photo.

the ghost bike

I got my photographic start by making images of roadside crosses and other memorials, and the habit of scanning roadsides and looking for memorials has never really left. I don’t always stop these days, but every now and then I see one that needs my attention.

This was one of them.
