Bridging The Gap

Alice at I Was Born2Cree8 is hosting a new project. I'm in for a couple of very busy weeks so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to participate but have decided to post a bridge today nonetheless.



The photo was taken this spring at the source of the Ljubljanica - the river that runs through Ljubljana, the city where I live and work. It's a wooden bridge wide enough for a car to cross as can be seen from the pic.

Actually, this is just one of the sources of the river known by many names. Because of its karst origin and character it springs in several places and after a few kilometres sinks again into the underground only to reemerge in some other place by some other name. A couple of hundred metres upstream from where this photo was taken the main spring of the river emerges from under a solid rock and acquires its final name.

Lovely photo! I like the reflections and the ripple in the water.
The wood looks a lot like the old wooden train trestle bridges we used to have here.

That's a beautiful shot. I thought it was a foot bridge until you mentioned a car could pass and then I enlarged it to see the car better. I'm the same way about not thinking I'd do another challenge but I love bridges so couldn't resist.

Romance. Pure romance. Your photo, even the story of the emergence of this river, sparkle with possibilities, like a new lover.

Play as much as you can. Take care of you first.

After having too much to do last week I fin myself with NOTHING to do this week. OC has taken himself off to San Francisco and won't be home till Friday night. My camera and I are off to see the island.

What a 'grand' photo! Such a beautiful scenic location it has to live it's life in. I agree with Quilly..."Romance. Pure romance."

Thanks for joining in with Bridging The Gap. Don't worry if you have to miss a day or two, no biggy, though I do hope you manage to play the full 7 days. Your photos are fabulous to look at.

This picture looks to me like something straight out of Huckleberry Finn! I spotted that rope swing right away! I bet Huck would too!
