Deep down, somewhere, there has to be the creek!

Tief unten, irgendwo, muss der Bach sein!

Puh, ist das hoch, lieber Pit.

Hab’s fein,

Du sprichst oben im Text von einem Bach. Silver Comet ist ein Zug?

Ooops, da habe ich Dich missverstanden. Der Silver Comet war in der Tat ein Zug, der u.A. auf dieser Trasse, die jetzt ein Radweg ist, von 1947 bis 1969 verkehrte. Und der Pumpkinvine Creek, ueber den diese Bruecke fuehrt, ist in der Tat ein Bach. Den habe ich aber, der Hoehe wegen, nicht gehoert, und der dichten Vegetation wegen auch nicht gesehen.

Yikes! A nice, but vertigo-inducing shot!

Normally, I do feel somewhat uncomfortable looking down in places like these, but, strangely, not on that bridge. I have no idea why.

Was this a railway bridge at one time? Dizzying height!

Yes, it was a railway bridge. The Silver Comet was a train that ran between New York and Birmingham/AL from 1947 till 1969.

That would have been a scary place to cross with the train. I don’t think I would have wanted to look down.

Well, in the train you would have passed it quickly. I took longer, first walking to the middle to take pictures, and then riding across it and back to take a video.So actually I rode my bicycle across it three times.

At least you didn’t have to worry about the weight of the train bringing the trestle down, only the wobbling bike that might have thrown you over. 😉

Great composition of the depth, the leading line (bridge), and the cyclist, Pit. Very cool!!

Thanks for the compliment, but to tell the truth, Amy, I took this picture with my cellphone and in the sunlight couldn’t see what exactly I was photographing. I tried to get some shade on the screen with my hand and ended up with quite a few photos of my fingers! 😉 I had to discard most of the pictures I took there.
But I agree: this one did indeed turn out well.

That’s a long way down! I hope the trees and bushes don’t do any harm to this construction.

I don’t think they harm it, dear Dina. The bridge is well cared for anyway, as is all the trail.
