Bridging The Gap

        Now that you are all caught up, let me tell you about this week’s theme. For the main game this week, the theme that won the election was bridges. Not many people actually voted, but the ones that did mostly chose bridges. I found a few pictures before the week started, and thank goodness I did. My picture choices have been just so-so because I found them quick. But for the most part, this week has been so crazy that I haven’t really been able to pay much attention. The bridges have been such a blur. I will admit that this theme was not my first choice. I cannot say, as I often have, that it has grown on me. Nor can I say that I disliked it. If I am being honest, I have to say that I was ambivalent to this theme. I think the biggest reason for this is that I was so busy. I will say, however, that the pictures I saw were pretty interesting. The other ladies really did well with their picture choices this week. Living in New York, I am well acquainted with bridges. Unless you live in Manhattan, you are considered a bridge and tunnel person. I cannot even close to afford an apartment in the city and thus I live in one of the other boroughs. Therefore I see bridges often. In fact, I recently traveled across one by bus every day. After the hurricane hit the city, the subways weren’t running. Therefore I had to take a bus to work every day since I do actually work in the city. One of my pictures this week was actually a shot taken during one of those bus trips. The rest are just random photos I chose. Since I love my city so much, I did of course use a few bridges from the area. I found tattoos of the Brooklyn Bridge and a shot of the Gapstow Bridge in Central Park. I also found, but did not use, a nice shot of the Manhattan Bridge. All of these pictures are shown below, as well as some of the cooler bridges I managed to find. And so, I will stop rambling and show you the pictures. Stay tuned for the secondary theme this weeks.
