It is a short journey between the present and the past. A bridge is such a great cross over between then and now. Being a little red bridge just makes it more special. One red step at a time. cheers cvc

I was thinking the other day as I crossed over a bridge in the Delta that how much fun it would be to visit old bridges and photograph them. I feel obligated to shoot photos of bridges whenever I spot an extraordinary bridge, and the Friendship Bridge in Huntsville is a lovely example, due in part to its history and connection to the people of Huntsville.

Hi Nick T Pappas - That's a great Friendship Bridge! Does the City decorate it for parades or holidays? I'm guessing many people stop and take photos of themselves or just the bridge - it's so beautiful and the thoughtfulness behind it is something to appreciate. 

Friends in the Rain!

Hello Patricia Feager , I've never seen it decorated. People do have their pictures taken there, but mostly see people looking over to the spring below at the large fish swimming by...of course many people use it to get to the other side :)
