Watery Wednesday - Pedestrians on Bridge

Hwy 106 Bridge over Current River near Eminence, Missouri - October 2010

So, Kesley & I was driving around Sunday taking pics of the fall colors when we round a bend & Kes sees the sign in the top pic. She immediately says, "What? Why would they post a sign like that? Why are people on a bridge? What are they doing there?" She's really getting upset that a sign like this would be posted on such a dangerous road and on a bridge of all places!
We round the next bend & start across this bridge to see the sight on both sides & suddenly realize exactly why!
Well, I couldn't help but stop right there on the bridge & start gawking at the view & we open the car doors to get out, then it really hits us that we've became the 'Pedestrians on Bridge'!!!
By now we're laughing so hard that we're crying & we look up to see a vehicle rounding the bend heading toward us...
Jeez, I can only imagine that they had to think we were drunk seeing us both like that, hanging half out of the car...
then I actually FELL OUT!!!
I hid my face from them!!!

I love moments like that...to laugh until you absolutely cannot stop! But...what a gorgeous scene that began all the hilarity!

I would have liked such a sign yesterday. I dearly wanted to stop on a bridge, get out and take some pictures. I decided it was too dangerous.

Tricia,

Thanks for the laugh this morning! I about snorted my coffee! And your photos are SO gorgeous! Ah how I miss fall in the Ozarks. Really, the colors of the trees and the rock bluffs and the rivers are hard to beat.
Thanks for stopping on the bridge!

P.S. Thanks for stopping by, cupolas are used for venting.

Jacob said...

That is a terrific story, Tricia. You had me laughing, too! With that kind of scenery, I'd stop and look, too. Can't believe you actually fell out. But you didn't get hurt, right?

Nah, you couldn't have taken such nice photos!

Beautiful header, and lovely photos.

nanny said...

I can sure see why you became a pedestrian.....beautiful!
I went on a landscape photo class, guided field trip Sunday and the guide was leaving Monday to float the Current for a few days...I can see why....

Pam said...

Wonderful shots and funny story, Tricia

George said...

I'm glad you became a pedestrian on the bridge and got these wonderful pictures.
Thanks, too, for the funny story.

Rick said...

Ha ha - great story; put a smile on my face. I was wondering exactly the same thing you were when I saw your first photo. First thought was - "are they permanently on the bridge ?" Then all was revealed and explained !

Love the view - nicely captured.

Irene said...

Great scenery ... love the view from the bridge!

Magical Mystical Teacher said...
