Comments on: "Once…" (5)
Very interesting bridge…is it still used (I would imagine one could walk on it?)…whatever, it was solidly built! Loving the beautiful trees in the background!
We found this in the forest not far from here and we did walk over it. I always feel a sense of ‘yesteryear magic’ when I find places like this. A couple of years ago we visited a similar place with the same feeling and took my in-laws along. I told my mother-in-law that I felt there was a story just waiting to be told behind one of the trees! A couple of weeks later the story came to me – I wrote it and sent it off to a women’s magazine here. They sent me a very welcome cheque for $400 but, unfortunately they don’t do fiction any more 😦
Wow, lucky you! And ‘yesteryear magic’ is quite a splendid description for what we see at these places!
Great photo! 🙂
Thank you 🙂 It was taken a while ago and now we’re saying ‘we must go back there!’ A sunny day and a picnic would be perfect 🙂
