The Lyndon Bridge is a metal Parker Pratt through truss bridge in the village of Lyndon, Whiteside County, Illinois, United States. The Lyndon Bridge was designed by engineer R.S. Riser and completed in 1894 for around $20,000. Whiteside County maintained the bridge from its construction until it was closed to all traffic in 1980. In 1995, as the county was about to demolish the bridge, a group of citizens worked together and saved it from demolition. The bridge was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

A clearing storm departs the Highlands, NC area last weekend. Whiteside mountain takes on a dramatic appearance in the morning sunrise. I took this shot from the comfort of the back deck of my friend's mountain house.

A series of images from a walk up and over Helvellyn, via Keppel Cove in the English Lake District on a lovely late spring day in 2022.
An evening photo from Whiteside Hill near Romanno Bridge, Peeblesshire. Looking north towards West Linton and the Pentland Hills.
The weather was very changeable, with periods of heavy rain interspersed by very short sunny periods. The soaking I got was made bearable by the short spells of stunning light.

Fun time today shooting from the summit of Whitesides Mountain. Randomly ran into Scott Hotaling, one of my flickr contacts on the mountain. Check out his awesome stream here:
A landmark along the Eastern Continental Divide, Whiteside Mountain rises to an elevation of 4,930 feet. The mountain’s cliffs look like sheets of ice draped across the mountain. This magnificent rock is more than 390 million years old.
Prior to the Seventh Cherokee Treaty of 1819, the mountain was part of the Cherokee Nation. During the mid-1800s, the state of North Carolina issued more than 20 separate land grants to early settlers along the eastern slope of Whiteside.
In the early 1900s, the land became part of the enormous estate of the Ravenel family, who summered in the Highlands area. Later, a private corporation bought the land and used it as a tourist attraction. Shuttle buses carried people to the mountain’s peak over a road built for this purpose.
In 1947, the mountain was purchased for its timber and logged. The U.S. Forest Service then acquired the land in the 1970s, and it became part of the Nantahala National Forest.
At first glance, this appears to be the all-time least necessary railroad tunnel. It's located on the west side of Chattanooga where Nashville & Chattanooga placed tracks in 1852. The tracks run through a valley; originally walls were placed on either side but they weren't enough to withstand dirt and rock slides. Thus, 400 feet of tunnel was completed in 1858 to serve as a roof and no longer need to clear the tracks.
By 1911, the one track could no longer meet the railroad needs. They cleared out a much larger area and built two sets of tracks through the area. They even had to add buttresses to the side of the existing tunnel to prevent it from making it's own rock slide onto the new tracks. Over time, the railroad here went from NC&StL to L&N and now CSX.
This area is fairly easy to find. The tracks parallel highway TN134. It's in Hamilton county very close to the Marion County line. There's a one-car pulloff spot on the side of the road, but sadly most people use the spot for illegal dumping. Whiteside is the nearest post office, so this is called the Whiteside Tunnel, although sometimes has been called the Raccoon Mountain Tunnel.

This exact poster image is featured on page 207 of the book entitled "Electric Banana" by Norman Hathaway:

Have some fun by right clicking on the image, select the largest "original" size and zoom in to the pupils and other great details. Speculation is that these represent John Lennon & Paul McCartney from the Beatles. Kim's original title for this image was "UnSung Heros".
9/19/11: A billboard of this same amazing image has been acquired, photographed and is in the process of being photoshopped together into a collage. It has UN-CREDIBLE details. The billboard version of this image was posted along highways just prior to Woodstock (August 15-18) in 1969.

"Visit-un-derland" shows up at the very end of a small booklet showcasing the various artists but I have never seen any actual billboards or smaller posters surface to date.

The 3rd "Un Usual" image is a bottle on a nose. Again - I've never seen this image printed although I hope that a billboard or poster will surface soon. This digital image came indirectly from the artist.

In addition to one known billboard, it has been seen on metal trash containers sold to the public decades ago and occasionally seen on eBay today.
This photo is an anomaly. The closest towers are in Tennesee, while I am actually in Georgia! The state line runs diagonally in the pic from about the top of the guard rail on the left side of the pic to where the far hill meets the tops of the near trees on the far right. Also, note All the Sediver suspensions on the tower on the right.
