James River Foot Bridge at Snowden, Virginia.
The James River Foot Bridge is the longest pedestrian-only bridge
on the Appalachian Trail, according to the Appalachian Conservancy.
Sometimes when we are there, we are lucky enough to see a train crossing
the river on its tracks. It is in pretty rough condition.

ReplyDeleteWonderful reflections and excellent angles, composition and beautiful photography ~ carol, xx
ReplyDeleteThe water scene looks like the Ozarks we visited this last weekend. We have a hugh church in Springfield MO which the James River Assembly--thought it was from there when I saw the post title. What a fascinating bridge!

A lovely part of the country. However, if the fence and bridge are not strong, I will just stay on the other side.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! The third is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteOh my, it was such a high flood !
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. What a nice spot.
ReplyDeleteA fine series n a fine bridge. Naturally, my favourites are the shadows in photos 3 and 4, and the sunlit fence in photo 8. They really appeal to me :)
ReplyDeleteNice capture and great photos.
ReplyDeleteThat is a long bridge, period! If it afford view of that train bridge, I'm in. It does look rough. That's a beautiful view of the river.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, especially the shadows.
ReplyDeleteI really like the black and white treatment!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!!
Well composed post. So much to study closer!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in at Cranberry Morning. Glad you enjoyed my Amish post. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat set of shots. The bridge looks like a nice place to pause and listen to nature. And the occasional train. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful series of photos. We have an old train bridge in the city that crosses the river and it's now a part of the walking trail. It makes for beautiful views too. Pamela
ReplyDeleteGreat sequence of shots. The shadows work so well in black and white.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures! Is this downstream from the footbridge at the James River Water Gap? I've crossed that one.
ReplyDeleteWow that is a long bridge. That will give me something to check out on my way to visit my daughter who just moved to VA Beach.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful black and whites. Love that footbridge. You keep on getting better and better. Today I got the books. Thank you so much for thinking of me. You are too sweet. We had someone drop out of the swap. I asked one of the previous swappers....Holly, and she said she would. Yeah.
ReplyDeleteWonderful black and whites Genie. That is one very long bridge. Thank Buddy for giving me his time. No I have no run coming up. Those days are behind me although maybe someday I might do something stupid. But just for now I am happy to just run for the sheer pleasure of it. I use Buddy for inspiration as I know he is years older than I. He gives me a future to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteLove all the lines and shadows...Nice pics
ReplyDeleteThe bridge design casts a fascinating network of shadows. Looks like a very scenic area.
ReplyDeleteYou captured the scene perfectly. It feels like I am right there.
ReplyDeleteGreat series of photos!
ReplyDeleteUsing Black and White makes it all more dramatic, though I like the color shot, too.
Have a beautiful week-end!

Great capture in perfect frame :)
ReplyDeleteLove those black & white shots - especially with all the shadows! Thanks for sharing and stopping by my blog. happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Genie. I love that footbridge...and love those last shots of the river.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous land you inhabit! The footbridge is a work of art as it croses the river. Thus we can amble from one side of paradise to the other!

ReplyDelete#3 looks like the work of a spider!
ReplyDeleteA very effective series of photos, Genie.
ReplyDeleteDelicious lighting effects, shadows and lines in the photos of this beautiful bridge, I prefer the B & W here!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that? A pedestrian only foot bridge! If I lived nearby, I'd be on it all the time.
ReplyDeleteThe view over the river is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteinteresting bridges and shadows.
ReplyDeleteI like to walk across high bridges--especially if they're shadowy!
ReplyDeleteShadowy Lighthouse
there is just something about black and white photos...simply lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteI do like the long views with the shadows.

Great post, Genie, and «Louis» is delighted that you contributed it to Sunday Bridges.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful are the photos!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, RW & SK
BW shots are my favorites. BW shots we can color with our imagination...
ReplyDeleteGreat serie of photos! Especially the third one is great. I like this play of light and shadow!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shadows on the footbridge. I like that you did it in B&W.
ReplyDeleteNice display. I bet that train bridge is a whole lot older than the new one from 2000.
ReplyDeleteWonderful fall color at the end and the shadows from that beautiful bridge are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! Great b&w series. Nice to see the colour version, too!
