nrhp # 75000134- The Pier bridge is located about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) east of the former Chandler railroad station in western Newport, crossing the Sugar River at an angle with a roughly east-west orientation. It consists of two Town-Pratt lattice trusses, resting on granite abutments which have been capped by concrete, and a central pier of similar construction. The western span is 106 feet (32 m) long, the eastern one 121 feet (37 m). Its trusses consist of Town-style lattice trusses sandwiched between Pratt trusses. Elements of the truss and lattice networks are joined by a combination of wooden pegging and iron rods, with iron turnbuckles joining some of the chords. The exterior is finished in vertical board siding, with a ventilation gap of about 2 feet (0.61 m) between the siding and the roof.[2]
The bridge was built in 1907 for the Boston and Maine Railroad. The railroad line it was built on dates to 1872, and was built by the Sugar River Railroad, which was merged into the B&M in 1887.[2] The line was operated operated by the B&M until 1954 when it was sold to the Claremont & Concord Railway. The C&C last ran to Newport in 1977 and the line was subsequently abandoned.[3] The bridge is one of two surviving railroad bridges on the line; the other is Wright's Bridge.

I loved the crazy looks of that little girl, with the huge sunglasses in a completely cloudy day and how they crossed Canal St. when they were not supposed to do it.
My greatest beach love of all time, Crossing Currents Island. You can find me soaking up the rays here a lot!

A large portrait of Abdullah II ibn Al-Hussein, the reigning king of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, is seen as this border crossing near the Jordanian coastal city of Aqaba and the Israeli city of Eilat at the tip of the Red Sea. Abdullah ascended the throne in February, 1999 upon the death of his father, King Hussein. He is the eldest son of King Hussein and the British-born Princess Muna al-Hussein (nee Antoinette Avril Gardiner). It is claimed that Abdullah is the 43rd-generation direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammad. His namesake is King Abdullah I, his great-grandfather who founded modern Jordan in 1946.

I was doing pretty good until I got to the middle and looked down between the cracks... and the cables dipped below 3 feet so I could no longer hold onto them.... not wanting to be the only tall white guy in the middle of the bridge crying out for his Mommy I puckered up and kept those feet moving... small steps, but still moving... :)
The perspective that I am referring to is how easy the crossing looked from the hillside before we reached the bridge and how completely different everything looked and felt while standing in the middle of the swinging bridge. The warning signs said not to have more than 8 people on it at a time and right about the time we reached the middle where I could no longer touch the steel cables several young men jumped on the bridge from the far side causing more swinging action and walked quickly towards us. I guess thats where the pucker part kicked in.... :) Somehow we moved to one side and let them pass... I don't remember that part clearly as I was focused on the rocks and rushing water below... :P
I find it's easy for our perspective to become skewed in our daily lives as well when we don't have a solid anchor from which we can draw strength during challenging times... I think it's good to examine our anchor from time to time... :)
View of the historic McDonald Crossing on the lower John Day Wild and Scenic River, from the BLM Rock Creek Recreation Site, May 27, 2017, by Greg Shine, BLM.
Thousands of immigrants traveling west on the Oregon Trail used the shallow river ford, known today as McDonald Crossing (on the western, Sherman County side) or the John Day Crossing (on the eastern, Gilliam County side), to traverse the lower John Day River on their way to the Willamette Valley and lands beyond. Today, it is a small but important part of the Oregon National Historic Trail.
Just upriver from the historic crossing is the BLM’s Rock Creek Recreation Site, on Lower Rock Creek Road. It’s a perfect day-use location for riverside fishing, picnicking, and boat launching.

CN nos.5268 & 5448 are approaching Armstrong with an empty load of cbs and are crossing MacDonald Rd.
Most of the pedestrian crossings of the main ring road had these indicators on the side, so you could figure out which direction what would be coming from (cycles, trams, or general traffic).

We saw this little fellow slithering across our path this afternoon! I believe it is a brown snake, but please correct me if I am wrong. If I am correct and it is indeed an Australian brown snake, then yes it is venomous! I was wearing thongs (sandals) so I didn't want to get too close!

Þórsmörk, Iceland. 26.06.2011.
When driving in the highlands in Iceland you have to be ready to cross some rivers. We just had passed this river (Krossá) and waited for the other bus to do the same. Krossá is a powerful river and it riverbed can change quickly. South-Iceland.
