PhotoHunt 128: Road
The latest PhotoHunt category from tnchick.com is “Road” which can be interpreted as one sees fit. It’s been a long time since I had the time to participate in a Photohunt so I’ve decided to offer up multiple photos for this week’s category.
Back in 1995, we had some horrendous spring rains causing major flooding. This caused my normal route to work to be disrupted because some of the road was closed due to flooding so I had to detour through some rural roads in south Georgia to get to my job in rural north Florida. I passed a lot of interesting things and on a weekend I decided to go rambling and take pictures. This photo from the top of a hill on a rural road just was interesting to me.
This photo is from J Lee Vause Park which is near where I live. It’s a nice little city park which is actually a tad outside of the city limits, but who’s paying attention to details? It’s a little one-way loop in and out of the park that is nice and quiet.
This is a picture of the roadway at the edge of the old, original Victory Bridge in Chattahoochee, Florida. It was part of the old U.S. Highway 90 and the bridge’s construction began in 1919 and was dedicated for use in 1922. I have more pictures and more detailed information on it at my little online photo album. Incidentally, the road and what remains of the bridge has not been used for automobile traffic for several decades. Two other bridges also known as the Victory Bridge were subsequently built with the third one being currently used (there is nothing remaining of the second bridge). The abandoned roadway and bridge segments from the original Victory Bridge are much narrower than modern paved roadways.

A wonderful set of road photos. I love the bridge. I also love roads where the trees bank and canopy the road.

I love all three pictures. I’m a small town gal so I like to be out in nature. I really like #2. It looks like a place I’d really love to go.

Poor, Lazy People…
There’s only only one hitch though. (Don’t tell the Dems but….) the people that are too lazy to work are also too lazy to vote. Ha.

I really admire the lushness of the countryside in your neighbourhood. Great photos for this week’s theme.
