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.

Lovely photos, Carletta, and an interesting Sky Watch. I love the name "Almost Heaven, West Virginia."
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteI love bridges.
ReplyDeleteThe sky is lovelly!
Great photos, I liked that you used the railroad bridge, being a train buff myself.
ReplyDeleteGreat catch for Skywatch! Mine's up too hope you can drop by,,,,asking for you vote too... Thanks a lot! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteNice bridge, but your rain shots are delicious, like paintings.
ReplyDeleteCarletta,
ReplyDeletethese 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)
ReplyDeleteGood photos of this bridge!
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!!
ReplyDeleteAnother great posting Carletta, I also want to thank you for your comment today and for being out there in blog land.. :O)
ReplyDeleteHey! 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
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots Carletta! Hppy SW!
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your recent comments on my Monarch butterfly and Osprey posting. They are much appreciated.
Nice bridge. Have a great Friday!
ReplyDeleteCarletta, 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...
ReplyDeleteThe sky through the framework of the bridge is quite dramatic.
ReplyDeleteLovely post.
Dx
I really like the second one. Yay!
ReplyDeleteVery nice shots:)Nice bridge too:)
ReplyDeleteI do have a thing about bridges. I think it's beacuse they connect us. Great images for me then.
ReplyDeleteI like the bridge picture. Like one other bridge I saw today thewy have a nice feel to them.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is great!!
ReplyDeletegreat photos i love how you used the bridge
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteYou walked across this bridge?! I have a fear of heights, and would probably have not been able to do that! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteI thought of John Denver first thing. Great series of photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots again Carletta.
ReplyDeleteIs 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the Bridge photo's.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos. Must have been a lovely walk.
ReplyDeleteOld iron bridges make great photos. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteGood post! I love the bridge and the music.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful view, Carletta!
ReplyDeleteInteresting photos, Carletta. The blue sky makes a good contrast to the muddy river.
ReplyDeleteViewing the sky between those rails. Beautiful idea ;)
ReplyDeleteNice bridge and sky-watching. And I always love John Denver. Hope you listened to Obama tonight. I thought he was awesome.
ReplyDeleteCarletta, very nice SWF images...and I liked the rest of your bridge posts..
ReplyDeleteThat'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.
ReplyDeleteI love the old metal truss bridges. Glad to see so many of them are alive and well in your area.
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteNice 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by~Cathy
Wow! What a lot of great bridge shots you have, my faves are the old stone piers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures !
ReplyDeleteYes I couldn't find any bridge and no I see bridges everywhere even in my mouth !
beautiful compositions!
ReplyDeleteI'm really loving all these bridge pictures. And the rain on the glass in the previous post- I love that. Great job.
ReplyDeleteInteresting shots through "pieces" of the bridge! Unusual!
ReplyDeletei've always loved looking at gaps through skies!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! Those are masterpieces!! I love the composition in the second and the third picture!
ReplyDeleteI liked your Sky wathc and loved your bridge - welcome over any time!"
ReplyDeleteThis 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).
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice bridge... from a dog's eye view. Bark!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat Sky Watch-photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Carletta!
ReplyDeleteGood job you had the girders for colour, the sky wasn't forthcoming that day. Like the top picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand entrance to West Virginia. Spectacular!
ReplyDeleteInteresting shots!
ReplyDeleteFantastic 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
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bridge structure. Good shots and sky.
ReplyDeleteLove the bridge shots, it adds to the sky.
ReplyDeleteCheers
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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and comment on my SWF! Have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeletedidn't you have a hard time driving and taking this angle?..but the pictures turned out great!
ReplyDeletecarla
Like the bridge photos, and the music by Denver. Nice to get back home and this was certainly a good post for SWF.
ReplyDeleteCool Shots For SWF!!
ReplyDeleteGreat Photo, that water is sure muddy looking. Love the shot
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bridge and lovely song by John Denver, he brings back so many dear memories!!
ReplyDeleteCarletta, 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?
ReplyDeletethere is something about these rusty iron constructions that appeals to me.
ReplyDeletegreat stuff!
Nice images for SWF! And I'm so sorry for the dirty river...
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Carletta! I like the way you framed the sky through the bridges.
ReplyDeleteNice sky photos from the bridges (or is it the reverse?). I also like your covered bridges.
ReplyDeleteWe love old railroad bridges. Great photos. Happy SWF.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking over your blog - very nice pictures.
ReplyDeleteHi Carletta, Happy Skywatching. I like your bridge pictures, I'll bet you were happy getting to that bridge back over to W.Va.
ReplyDeleteWe 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.
