Marsha’s Wednesday Quotes #11: A Bridge/To Bridge

I have confined myself to some of the bridges close to my place, by close I mean withing twenty kilometres.

“The crackling sounds of an old and tired bridge can best be understood by an old and tired person! Those who have carried the burden of life for so long are the ones who understand each other best!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

The bridge over the Mann River at Cangi

“In the rainy season, sometimes to get to the first lesson we had to run really quick, because we had to cross the river to school and we’d have to go up and down the bank to find a place to cross because there is no bridge.”
― Haile Gebrselassie

The bridge across the Clarence River at Lilydale in flood ⬆️ in normal times ⬇️

“Theater is a space where you cross over from everyday life, because there are real people in that moment moving in front of you – you’re being invited to believe in a story and cross that bridge.”
― Cate Blanchett

The Mann River Bridge not far from my place ⬆️ and ⬇️

And one more for fun

“I was the kid who stared out the window. I fantasized myself on the deck of pirate ships – Cussler at the bridge.”
― Clive Cussler

Dan’s Thursday Doors

The doors of Italy. I must have some Italian blood as I just love going there every time I head to Europe. Let’s begin in Genoa with a very impressive doorway and a door that is dwarfed by the surrounding doorway.

A heraldic shield and impressive entrance in Verona

The wooden door from Milan with studs, brick arch and moulding

This could be a church door in Bologna

How did I go this month. I know I have other photos that I prefer it’s just my present computer predicament that has me befuddled. If I get it sorted I might even have another go just for fun. Isn’t that what photo challenges should be?

Lost in Translation – Thursdays Special – Pick a Word September 2021

Paulas words made me think for a while. This morning the Female Satin Bowerbirds came into the garden looking for a bit of nectar from the Yamba Sunshine Grevillea which was fortuitous for reachable.

I have a few photos of boats but this sailing boat in Genoa was the best for docked

Linkage had to be a chain and a rusty one is even better

LINKAGE

I couldn’t find anything straight away and then I remembered the horses who had a short disagreement. I don’t know what infuriated one of them

INFURIATED

Last week on a walk in the park prior to another lockdown at my besties area, I found a hat on a post and thought “that may come in handy” and here is a post behatted
