As stated in
an earlier post, Glen Echo Creek surfaces above ground several places on its way from the hills to the bay. One of the longest stretches runs for several blocks just off of Piedmont Avenue, a busy shopping district. The creek wends its way through a small park, behind houses and a senior citizen complex, and along public paths before it goes underground again. Neighbors volunteer to maintain the creek bed and restore plants native to the riparian community. The cyclone fence borders Monte Vista Avenue that bridges the creek. The culvert that runs under the street seems to represent both tunnel and bridge at the same time. For more bridge photos from around the world, visit «Louis La Vache's»

A seductive bridge. (I don't really know why I think that, but it's what popped into my mind.) I'll be back when I have a better analysis...:)
ReplyDeleteLooks like from a fairytale. I'd expect trolls or leprechauns to appear. Or both!
ReplyDeleteno wonder the surroundings look so lush, neighbors volunteer to take care of this creek. that's wonderful. i love your photo.
ReplyDeletethe cyclone fence rather spoils the view, but is perhaps necessary.
ReplyDeleteLovely old stones, wonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteTunnel or bridge? Tricky and creative...
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

Beautiful atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteIf it weren't for the fencing around the bridge, one would think this was in a very remote part of the countryside. I love the rustic nature of the bridge. Looks like it's been around for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteNice to know people care and maintain the area.
