    @ZenKarma Yes it is amazing, serene and beautiful. The tradition and way of life, the craft passed down from generation to generation. In some ways I don’t want to go there and disturb that life they have. Leave them alone. But in another way I would like to just look at it, see it, admire all they have around them... .. a simpler life but a happy one. . They know what is important,

    that was taken in a town called Bayeux, France. a pretty little town, the Bayeux Tapestry is there as well. That water mill is still working and used to this day with a bread shop and pastry shop attached to it, stayed there a couple of days before moving on.

    0CD8E2F4-80B0-4B2E-94F3-E7F594372E6D.jpeg You want a bridge, well here’s you damned bridge. The oldest steel truss bridge in Michigan which happened to be in the town I grew in. Us locals called it the black bridge. We played on it, we fished off of it, we dove off of it and we ran like hell when the train came.

    upload_2020-8-12_8-28-6.jpeg The Mighty Mac, spanning the 5 mile Straits of Mackinac connecting Upper and Lower Michigan. Up until 1998 it held the world record of longest suspension bridge. I’ve crossed this thing hundreds of times and under it a half dozen.
    On September22, 1989 Leslie Pluhar, driving a Yugo became the first person to die because Of a car being blown off the bridge.

    I crossed the bridge the next day heading up to the UP. There were still 40MPH Winds. It was a scary ass drive. I was driving a 1975 Bronco.
