Pedestrian Bridge over Railroad Tracks




Pedestrian Bridge (I think) over the Train Tracks in Roanoke, VA.

These are valuable photos considering I tripped on the irregular concrete walkway looking UP for these shots instead of looking down and where I was walking. I have already destroyed two Canon point and shoot cameras walking and shooting at the same time, but my trusty Rebel survived this little old lady's belly flop today. I guess the old saying is true....”You can’t teach old dogs (ladies) new tricks!”

  1. I love seeing these sorts of bridges over railway lines. Especially the old ones.

  2. Very unusual lamp in first photo - the one on the right. Nice ?train wheels I think. Love the black n white lines of the fences, bridge, railing and structure holding up lights. Black n white really brings out the lines.

  5. Love the incline shot in the first one. Our walkways over train tracks tend toward the switchback design so you end up going back and forth and it feels like such a longer walk than necessary.

  6. walking while photographing can be a dangerous duo. Keep your head up girlfriend! Nice shots of the pedestrian bridge and tracks... I think I've been down to that same area, but not in a while, in fact I hear a Roanoke train whistle right now. LOL

  9. I won't tell you to be careful you wouldn't listen anyway.

    Does a damaged camera lead to an upgraded camera for every spill?

    Seriously, watch you step.

    HMD to you!

  13. 2nd comment - Dear Genie - I do hope your injuries are feeling better and the nurse in me would put you in a soft chair, give you a book to read and write your blog for you till your wounds healed. That would be in about 1/2 hr, right. ha,ha Just wanted to write back and thank you for the lovely note and if I was anywhere near Seattle, when you guyz are there, you could count on us taking photos together, eating fine food and posting. he,he. Take care
    We could get in some kind of good trouble together, eh!

  17. Great choice to have these in monochrome. Accentuates all the nice lines of the bridge and surroundings. And Genie friend, you stop right now with the "old" stuff. You are what you think, and you know darn well there's a fun-loving, creative, young soul in there that defines you... Never miind the falls... just keep shooting. Okay :-)
