Skywatching From a Stone Arched Bridge: for Skywatch Friday


editing note: This last photo, which I have added on Oct. 18th, was taken by my brother while he was standing above on the railroad bridge, and I am down below at the river level; to the slight left of the orange tree.
My appreciative thanks to Tom, Sandy, Imax, Ivan and Klaus for hosting Sky Watch Friday .

  24. Beautiful, wonderful bridge photo. And I love the one in your header as well. I have to tell you that I've considering printing one of your fall photos and doing a painting with it; I don't have much time now, so it's just a thought. But they are truly inspiring.
