This is the bridge spanning the Saco River nearest our house. As you can see by the tracks, in winter it provides not only pedestrian traffic but a way for snowmobiles to travel the bridge without attempting to traverse the roadway. It's safer and smoother, especially when the pavement is bare of snow like it was this recent morning. That groundhog said winter would be coming to an end soon. What's it waiting for? Enough already!

I have noticed buds on the trees outside of my school. Yea!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen snowmobiles on a bridge; must be quite a sight. I like the contrasting colours in this photo.
ReplyDeleteAt least we've had a momentary respite from the bone-chilling cold...and icicles have let go from most of the roofs around here.
ReplyDeleteLove to see a snowmobile making its way there !
ReplyDeleteLooks like that path is getting quite a bit of use. The hint of red at the end of the bridge is nice. And, of course, being a Spartan I'm partial to anything green & white!
ReplyDeleteAh, a truss bridge. WE have very few of those left here in Texas - at least for car traffic. When the weather gets nicer perhaps you can give us a picture from the side or down below. I'll be waiting!
ReplyDeleteSnow--snowmobiles--what's that? It has been such a mild winter out here I just cannot relate.
ReplyDeleteLike the green bridge though. MB
That is a nice picture and I can just imagine seeing a snowmobile going across. We are having some lovely weather here with sunny skies and highs in the 70's!
ReplyDeleteEverything is melting here today In Toronto but we will probably pay for this in the next few weeks!
ReplyDeletei can feel it
ReplyDeleteNice -- I hear your angst about winter -- barbara
ReplyDeleteLove the color of that bridge, but not the snow.
ReplyDeleteI think we're all ready for the Spring. Bring it ON!
ReplyDeleteI like the composition of this photo looking down the side of the brigde
ReplyDeleteHey, you're just in the wrong part of the country. 74 here today and snow all gone. Nevertheless the green and white abstract design here is way cool.
ReplyDeleteI like the bright green against the snow. From this angle, it looks good. I suspect from the side it is pretty utilitarian. You will have to show us in the spring.
ReplyDelete"...And at the end of the day, crack a smile and say:
ReplyDeleteThe trip was worth!
That you can act to make your journey smooth.
Because our lives, following the direction that we give to it."
Bonjour dear Birdman,
Thanks for sharing this wonderful shot. The composition is perfect, the perspective is very beautiful!

I love the color of this bridge. I wonder how often they have to paint it.
