There is nothing new under the sun, true! But the way you presented the various related things you find interesting was new to me, and for that I am appreciative! Have a beautiful Sunday!
Friend I was amazed. I have never been to the Great Bridge or New York. I was with a man for 23 years (most of my adult life) who didn't like water or bridges. When traveling we had to do routes that didn't have high or long bridges. Boats were completely out of the question. I love hearing the history of the bridge however. and as usual your photographers eye found some really awesome photos. Thinking about it it seems that back years ago, Building bridges, tunnels or high monuments was a risky job. Chances of falling into the construction, or falling to the ground were very common. A woman engineer! wow. Back in the 1880's practically unheard of. loved it! oxoxo
Friend! I'm so glad you were amazed! Since I have a "maze" of a brain! ha ha! I can't believe you were with someone who didn't appreciate bridges! Thank you for commenting! There is so much cool history to learn about but this was something that John and I learned about each time we went to the city. It was the first place I wanted to go on my 50th and I just stood there in awe. We would go several times, and stand under it and imagine the workers, the pain the spirit of not giving up. and YES! Emily Roebling! She needs more credit! Also the book, The Great Bridge by David McCullough. Amazing!
This was most interesting, I did not know the story of how this bridge was built, thank you for sharing it. I have only visited this bridge in pictures and I really love yours that you put into the article. Thank you for all the little “tangent” links, I enjoyed reading them and finding out more. And I loved how you wove the different themes through this and the way you ended it.
Thank you so much Jenn! It's amazing how many characters are living around us at all times with so much going on. Because of our intense interest in this bridge and most all bridges that were built during this time, it was so fun to lace together other people living at the time and tie it together in a way that said not much is new in terms of dreams, ingenuity, behavior and hardship. It keeps going and going around the sun right? Thank you so much for your kind comment! ox
