One of the things I do to take my mind off how steep a hill is when I'm out cycling is to occupy my mind with other activity. So it was about just over half-way up a steep climb on to the Wayfarer's Walk that I decided on today's blog theme ... bridges. I've tried to include my more interesting postcards here, the majority of which are artist drawn, although all with unique styles. I particularly like the artist style in the Tyne Bridge postcards, especially the cars.
As usual these and hundred of vintage postcards like them can be found on my vintage postcards web pages
wow! that Carrick-a-Rede bridge looks a bit too Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom for me! scary!
ReplyDeleteI like the rope bridge view, but you would never get me on a bridge like that!
ReplyDeleteBridges are so interesting and all of these are wonderful and different. I don't think I would have been interested in crossing the rope bridge ... I don't care what was on the other side! !!! Happy PFF!
ReplyDeleteA great series. The rope bridge had only a rope at your right side. I think I would try to pass it, but I would be scared too. Which of the bridges will still exist? Happy PFF.
ReplyDeleteI did the Carrick-a-Rede bridge just about a year ago! My husband has been across it as a child.
ReplyDeleteIf there is something on the other end of the rope bridge that I need, someone will have to bring it over to me! Great cards! Carol
ReplyDeleteA great variety of bridge styles here! And I am quite sure that there were no health and safety concerns with that rope bridge! Individual choice to dare to dare!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. Thank You. mine is here.
ReplyDeleteAmazing the variety of bridge postcards - each beautiful in its own way. I'd like to cross that Carrick-a-Rede Bridge - how fun would that be?
ReplyDeleteI was just taken aback by the beauty of these bridge postcards--how lovely they are! Thank you so much for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteHappy PFF!
Don't forget to visit Gemma's Mailbox meme--I forgot to add in the link on PFF--but it's there now!
That's a very nice grouping, and of course the rope bridge is fascinating.
