This is crossing the Ohio River coming back from Belpre, Ohio to Parkersburg, West Virginia. I posted photos of the entire bridge and the railroad bridge you see beside it to the left in my post on Monday. (here)
This and the next photo were taken as I walked across a walkway attached to this old B&O Railroad Bridge in Marietta, Ohio. I posted about this bridge on Wednesday. (here) In this photo you can see where the Muskingum River converges with the Ohio River.
Looking from the middle of the bridge across the Ohio River to Almost Heaven West Virginia.To see other Sky Watch participants please go here.

Great bridge photos, Carletta! Thanks for visiting me! :) And thanks for JOhn Denver!
I didn't realize this was Skywatch Carletta. I don't have my Skywatch photo(s) up yet. I will later this afternoon...
Great shot. Nice bridge
Carletta: A wonderful SWF post and a great ad for WV with special music to compliment the photos.
that's nice. you have great angle of your photos... perfectly well done!
happy friday!
A nice shot of the bridge from front on. The water in that river sure is dirty.
I enjoyed these, Carletta!
Great photos!!
Beautiful bridge photos and blue skies!Drop by if you got a chance, HERE.
Stunning shots you have here!
I love bridges, and this is a great one. Beautiful.
Great bridge and shots.
What a wonderful way to change states!
Thinking of me with the fog... so funny. I'm sure it was. How did Fay treat you?
Lovely photos, Carletta, and an interesting Sky Watch. I love the name "Almost Heaven, West Virginia."
I'm enjoying your bridge shots so much. I actually came here via skywatch this time. I don't do that on the same blog that I do bridges on but your idea of combining them is good.
I love bridges.
The sky is lovelly!
Great photos, I liked that you used the railroad bridge, being a train buff myself.
Great catch for Skywatch! Mine's up too hope you can drop by,,,,asking for you vote too... Thanks a lot! Happy weekend!
Nice bridge, but your rain shots are delicious, like paintings.
Carletta,
these are beautiful images, so evocative! I also love love love the John Denver song, "Country roads, take me home to the place I belong ... . Good thing, though, you can't hear me sing along! ;-)
Thank you so much for introducing me to "When the Blue Hour Comes"! I have added a link to Utube, works when you click on my first photo.
I really like these photos of this bridge! I like how you enter a new state at the middle of a river :0)
Good photos of this bridge!
Great pictures of a great structure.The river and never ending country beyond. Look closely to see all the different details playing together, here a bit of rust, the muddy water and a never ending sky. Nature and man made linking together.Great SW. Thank you.
Great shots!!
Another great posting Carletta, I also want to thank you for your comment today and for being out there in blog land.. :O)
Hey! How did I miss a post? Like I said bridges are a favorite subject. I heard it was raining in the mountains of North Carolina. Looks like you were getting some of the same. Restful rain shots. Pappy
Beautiful shots Carletta! Hppy SW!
Love your Denver music in the background. I like bridges with walkways and the views they give, looking both up and down. Nice perspectives for a sky view.
Thank you for your recent comments on my Monarch butterfly and Osprey posting. They are much appreciated.
Nice bridge. Have a great Friday!
Carletta, I sure enjoyed crossing the bridge and going to West Virginia! How creative!! I loved it and felt like I was on a trip and have now crossed state lines and visited WV! The bridge and sky and water shots were nice as well, but I especially liked you giving us the feel of traveling...Thanks for sharing...
The sky through the framework of the bridge is quite dramatic.
Lovely post.
Dx
I really like the second one. Yay!
Very nice shots:)Nice bridge too:)
I do have a thing about bridges. I think it's beacuse they connect us. Great images for me then.
I like the bridge picture. Like one other bridge I saw today thewy have a nice feel to them.
The first one is great!!
great photos i love how you used the bridge
I'm really loving all these bridges I'm seeing in everyone's posts. Must be a bridge meme floating around here somewhere!

Nicely done! I love the first image.
You walked across this bridge?! I have a fear of heights, and would probably have not been able to do that! Great shots!
I thought of John Denver first thing. Great series of photos.
Great shots again Carletta.
Is the water always that colour or does it eventually clear up?
Thanks for your kind comments on my blog earlier, your photos from the bridge are a fun way to frame the sky, thanks for sharing.
Great job on the Bridge photo's.
Very nice photos. Must have been a lovely walk.
Old iron bridges make great photos. Nice shots!
Good post! I love the bridge and the music.
That's a wonderful view, Carletta!
Interesting photos, Carletta. The blue sky makes a good contrast to the muddy river.
Viewing the sky between those rails. Beautiful idea ;)
Nice bridge and sky-watching. And I always love John Denver. Hope you listened to Obama tonight. I thought he was awesome.
Carletta, very nice SWF images...and I liked the rest of your bridge posts..
That's funny. I started singing the song as soon as I saw the sign on the first bridge and before the music started to play.
I love the old metal truss bridges. Glad to see so many of them are alive and well in your area.
My husband was in W Va just this week for work and we lived their for a summer and loved it. Thanks for the reminder. Bautiful. Have a great weekend.
Nice photos.. It's funny cause I said on another site not to long ago that I played John Denver as we crossed the bridge into WVA. Wonder how many times that song is used.
Thanks for stopping by~Cathy
Wow! What a lot of great bridge shots you have, my faves are the old stone piers.
Beautiful pictures !
Yes I couldn't find any bridge and no I see bridges everywhere even in my mouth !
beautiful compositions!
I'm really loving all these bridge pictures. And the rain on the glass in the previous post- I love that. Great job.
Interesting shots through "pieces" of the bridge! Unusual!
i've always loved looking at gaps through skies!
Wow!!! Those are masterpieces!! I love the composition in the second and the third picture!
I liked your Sky wathc and loved your bridge - welcome over any time!"
This is a wonderful bridge, Carletta. As soon as I saw it and saw the West Virginia sign, John Denver's song started to flow through my head... then your music started playing the same song... haha. FOMCLMBO (Falling Off My Couch Laughing My Butt Off).
This is a very nice bridge... from a dog's eye view. Bark!!!
Great Sky Watch-photos!
Great photos Carletta!
Good job you had the girders for colour, the sky wasn't forthcoming that day. Like the top picture.
What a grand entrance to West Virginia. Spectacular!
Interesting shots!
Fantastic bridge photos. I'm a little afraid of heights, so my toes started curling up just imagining walking across the walkway. Thanks for the Anniversary wishes. BJ
Beautiful bridge structure. Good shots and sky.
Love the bridge shots, it adds to the sky.
Cheers
I liked the way you combined the bridge with the sky. I like to look through bridge structures too - there is something quite mesmerizing about them.
Thanks for your visit and comment on my SWF! Have a wonderful weekend!
wow thats nice angles...
didn't you have a hard time driving and taking this angle?..but the pictures turned out great!

Like the bridge photos, and the music by Denver. Nice to get back home and this was certainly a good post for SWF.
Cool Shots For SWF!!
Great Photo, that water is sure muddy looking. Love the shot
Beautiful bridge and lovely song by John Denver, he brings back so many dear memories!!
Carletta, Love all the posts you've been doing about the bridges. I especially liked the railroad portion. Can you just imagine how they built it?
there is something about these rusty iron constructions that appeals to me.
great stuff!
Nice images for SWF! And I'm so sorry for the dirty river...
Great photos, Carletta! I like the way you framed the sky through the bridges.
Nice sky photos from the bridges (or is it the reverse?). I also like your covered bridges.
We love old railroad bridges. Great photos. Happy SWF.
I enjoyed looking over your blog - very nice pictures.
Hi Carletta, Happy Skywatching. I like your bridge pictures, I'll bet you were happy getting to that bridge back over to W.Va.
We like W.Va, I was there for the first time a year and a half ago. It was the last of the 50 states for me. We found your state to be very pretty.
Thank you for peeking at my church spire and moon in the cloudy evening sky.
