ABC Wednesday
S is for Suspension Bridge - a bridge that has the roadway supported by a series of wire ropes that hang from cables stretched between tall towers.
 |
| Tishomingo State Park, Mississippi, USA, September 20, 2015 |
This pedestrian only bridge is known as the Swinging Bridge because there is a slight movement with each footstep. The cables are anchored into the ground at each end of the bridge.
Signs are posted advising "No more than five people on the bridge at one time." The more people on the bridge, the more the bridge moves.

Wild Bird Wednesday

Northern Mockingbirds are wide-spread across North America. They are great mimics of other bird's songs.

| Pinson, Tennessee, USA, November 15, 2015 |
Last Sunday we stopped at Pinson to see the Artesian Well. Natural spring water is supposed to have health benefits, and people bring jugs to catch the water.
My immune system is a bit low, so I did not taste it. Actually it did not look the slightest bit appealing to me. Pinson is also the site of fifteen American Indian burial and ceremonial mounds.
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Interesting to look at but they give me nightmares because I suffer from motion sickness!
ReplyDeleteSuspension bridges are not my favourite ones. I don't dare to walk on them and I am terrified if it is a swinging bridge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit.

I don't like heights but I would walk across that bridge...fascinating...we have some hidden wells with spring water nearby....they are special.
ReplyDeleteInteresting views of the bridge and the water looks like it has just had some rain to stir it up.
ReplyDeleteI remember that swinging bridge very well. It was always a favorite site for me when we went there on picnics when I was little. Glad to see it's still swinging!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would like the suspension bridge to walk on, but it is pretty. Thanks for stopping by to comment on my Sitka Spruce post. - Margy
ReplyDeleteThat second shot is so cool!
ReplyDeleteLove the wonderful suspension bridge, and the Artesian well also! Great finds.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bridge, we had a 100 year-old one that the ice took out a couple of of years ago.
ReplyDeleteCool bridge, but I think that would freak me out.
ReplyDeletethe bridge would make me nervous to walk across...
