Mercer, Is that where that Galloping Gerdy (spelled right?) bridge was? The one that fell in?

I think that was the late 30's or early 40's?

The Golden Gate Bridge was built finished in 1937 and just went through a complete reto fit about 3 years ago. the salt air was doing a number on it.

Well Chris they had to rework a lot of smaller parts, took rivets out and replace them with bolts and so on. I don't know all they done but they do keep it in good shape. Also they never stop painting, get to one end and start over

I have been told it takes 7 years for one paint job.

Tacoma Narrows Bridge (1940) - Galloping Gertie
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_Narrows_Bridge_(1940)

Tacoma Narrows Bridge today. In 1998 they built a second bridge and added tolls of $5US to cross. Old one west bound and the new one east bound.

This happens at my house when it rains. I tried to prune this rosebush a little over a week
ago but couldn't find my gardening shears. I guess it won't get pruned this year, again.
This rosebush was here when I bought this house in 1994, so it's over 23 years old. Right
now it's about eight feet tall.

I would like to go off-topic here for a second and remind people that, if they
don't like what's happening in a thread or they don't like the people who

That being said, I will not respond to challenges to me as a result of this
post. So still your fingers.

Up to this last year I missed some great shots, I seem to never have my camera with me.
No more I carry my Pentax or my Nikon and my Iphone.

My Nephew is a big camera buff in New Mexico and he comes up with some great stuff also.
He lives in Roswell but no pic's of UFO's yet. LOL

It's a Jackdaw...I don't know if it's known by another name in other parts of the world....

They only live in Europe, western Asia and North Africa and thrive near people, they are very common in cities, and familiar guests at the outdoor cafes.

We got about 12 inches of heavy wet snow. Shoveling is not going to be fun.

Another sunset shot from last Autumn...

WOW! Hi Keith (aka Gnu). thank you for the Beautifull Photos.

and thank you to all who have posted your Beautifull Photos.

My friends, love is better than anger.
Hope is better than fear.
Optimism is better than despair.
So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic.
And we’ll change the world.

Best Wishes,
Byron

It's apparently a "small member of the crow family."
