Art of Bridges – September 2020

Bridges in art is the theme for this post. I’ve collected the images over the past month as I browsed through art slideshows on Internet Archive. The post on the same theme in August can be found here. These images give me the idea of doing more photographing of bridges once I start traveling again; it’s a relatively easy thing to do on a road trip when my husband is driving….and the windshield is relatively clean. Of course, there are other – sometimes more dramatic – view of bridges from the side rather than the bridge surface. Maybe we’ll make a point to find vantage points of complex bridges…a short stop for a few pictures!

There are 12 artist featured this month – from showing different countries, time periods, and styles. The bridges are made of stone, concrete, steel and wood – and they are not always crossing water! The artist name/link is to the slideshow where more of their work can be seen. Enjoy these images…and look at the other paintings from these artists in the Internet Archive entry on their work.

Unique Activities for Yesterday:

Cool morning….breakfast adjustment. I like smoothies but when the outdoor temperature is in the 50s, I want something warm. The past few mornings I’ve started out with hot tea with coconut almost milk and a few pieces of dark chocolate. At mid-morning (when I was having a smoothie with the consistency of soft-serve ice cream because of all the frozen ingredients), I have something that is decidedly more lunch-like. I’m changing the name of the light meal from 2nd breakfast to 1st lunch! A bowl of potato soup  with lots of good veggies from the CSA tastes so good on a cold morning!
