The Blogging from A to Z Challenge is a challenge for many bloggers. But, in 2012, I faced other challenges. A body flirting with obsesity. An arthritic knee that was limiting some of my mobility.
I vowed that, one day, I would walk across the Arthur J. Ravenel, Jr Bridge, which connects Charleston, South Carolina with Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.

Today, on R day in the
Blogging from A to Z Challenge, I want to blog about that bridge, the bridge I lost weight for,
the bridge I conquered in 2014, the bridge I walked on (although not all the way this time - I just didn't have enough time in a short trip to Charleston) again this year.
This is what it looks like when you are walking the bridge, if you look up.
If I could, I would fill my phone with pictures of sunset near the Ravenel Bridge.
If I could lasso the moon, I would lasso it from the Ravenel Bridge.
I know there are more beautiful bridges. I know there are more most-photographed bridges. But, for some reason, I just can't get enough of the Ravenel Bridge. And
neither can many other people.
Some people fear bridges, but, for me, they are a source of delight.
What part of the Americas will I visit for the letter "S"?
I love bridges, too, Alana! As an art student, we studied the great bridges and I appreciate them for being architecturally diverse and many of them quite beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Alana,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :) Stunning bridge and great pics!
Oh wow. How long a walk is that?
ReplyDeleteI love bridges that have walkways on them. Very cool to see the water below and the cars and traffic zooming by beside you!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I had never even heard of this bridge, but my knowledge of the East Coast is so spotty!
