Spoked Wheels Rolling Towards the Horizon

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

Maybe it's just me, but every time I look at this crazy bridge in Hanover City, Germany it reminds me of the spoked wheels of a bike. Two large spoked wheels rolling towards the horizon.

Won’t You Join Me for a Picnic at Sun Up?

Monday, June 27th, 2011

It's one of those magical places in the morning. The sun slowly rising over the horizon, peaking through the trees and the bridge.

Crossing The Bridge From Copperhill

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Crossing the bridge between Copperhill, TN and McCaysville, GA is like being in the middle of an old, picturesque country painting. So peaceful it's almost magical.

It's our past that brought us to where we are today. So cross each bridge as ...
