Doodle Bridge Stories, 2016
Once or twice a year, I hike a nature trail in a state park, just to read the graffiti on a small bridge. Doodle Bridge, as I have dubbed it, doesn't bear crude sketches and profanity. Well, maybe some. Most of its graffiti is poetry, song lyrics, and philosophy. I believe the ones with the markers are college students, expressing thoughts and feelings that touch them deeply.
I've posted many messages from Doodle Bridge. I want to preserve them before the bridge is covered, once again, with a fresh coat of paint, and the students need to start again.
Today, I made my pilgrimage and took many photos. I'll post them over the next few days, as I edit them. When I'm finished, I'll post another shot of the bridge itself, to bookend the messages on my photostream.
