The Old Become New Again

The Old Become New Again

The Old Become New Again, I love photographing bridges. The architecture alone is quite impressive on these massive bridges that not only are a way of transportation across rivers, but they also remind me of adventure, what is on the other side. A thought of keep moving and learning cross my mind when I see bridges.

This bridge below is the Centennial Bridge in Davenport Iowa, crossing over the Mississippi River, very old but so pretty at night with all its lights on.

The Old Become New Again

This bridge is new, up river from the first bridge. New design and look compared to the architecture of old.

As we travel south, there will be a few bridges to cross I am sure. As like this one in Illinois.

But as always, adventure awaits after every bridge crossed.

Have a Wonderful Weekend

  1. The IL bridges aren’t very far from where we live. Hard to recognize them when there aren’t construction cones everywhere. πŸ˜‰

    1. Yes, that one we cross as we go through Illinois. I should really write down where these are, I will have to keep a note book with me.

          1. It seems to always be in the news here for the construction projects. You must have been travelling through off (non-construction) season. πŸ™‚

  2. Hi everyone, I’m new with WordPress and I write short stories told by little things around us (like a scrunchy, lollipop and the moon πŸ˜‚) but anyways, do check it out if u like! πŸ₯°

    1. I am glad these photos could help you in your time of need. Photography can help take you to another place, where you can relax your thoughts for a moment in time. Blessings to you 😌

    1. Yes, big bridges usually cross over to a new state or new park, island, that kind of thing. So I see them as a new adventure awaits 😊 thank you Marland, have a wonderful Sunday.

  3. It’s nice to see how the new bridge looks as you mentioned it being built several times and the older bridge always was lit up so nicely with great reflections on the water. Keep crossing those bridges Sandra.

  4. This is a funny thing but bridges, especially high ones, scare the begebez out of me. I don’t know why but I have serious trouble crossing them while driving.

    Just Laugh. Forget the other details

    1. I know exactly what you mean. Some of them don’t bother me, but of they are tall and the side rails are to short, that freaks me out as well. I know I could never go across the Mackinaw bridge in Michigan, that one is so long. They shut that bridge down when it gets windy. 😊

      1. Tnere is one in Toledo that goes over the city that I have to get off the freeway and drive through town to get past I won’t drive in it. It alst freaks me out to know there is one that goes from Florida to Key West I wouldn’t make that on a bet πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

        1. So funny, I drove that road to key west back when I drove a Straight truck, smaller version of a semi, to deliver a satellite to a navy ship. πŸ˜‰ back in my truck driving days. Once was enough for me.

  5. All are fine but that 1st bridge photo is so fine, Sandra. If I ever get back to Davenport I will make certain I cross that bridge when I come to it… especially at night.

    1. Thank you very much Don, yes that bridge is so pretty at night, especially on a warm evening when the Mississippi River is calm, the bridge lights reflect in the water. So peaceful. 😊

  6. I love bridges. The idea of making accessible that which once was not excites me … and the creativity of bridge designers causes me to imagine β€œWhat next?” Thanks for showing these lovely examples. This week we crossed London Bridge. That was a thrill!

  7. Nice… I didn’t think of the advantages of crossing bridges.. one side represents the hardship and the other side is new opportunities for amazing adventures… wow.. I c u.. impressive
