I love bridges. Whether small or grand, the beauty of a bridge is not lost on me. My title comes from the quote by Jim West – “Bridges are metaphors for everything in life, … The bridge is not just about getting back and forth between north and south. The bridge is about connecting our communities.”
While looking at some beautiful photographs of bridges I was reminded of some quotes that talk about bridges, both figuratively and literally. I’d like to share them with you:

Poetry is not only dream and vision it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.” ~ Audre Lorde

The photos and quotes are both absolutely beautiful. I would never have thought of bridge quotes being a metaphor for life, but they certainly are.
Lovely photos!
Yes! I totally agree. Great post with beautiful photos and inspirational quotes! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thank you, Donna
I’m organizing the Third International Conference on Academic Writing “Building bridges through academic writing: Research, policy, and practice” to take place in June in Tel Aviv,Israel and was looking for inspiration for my Greetings, which I found in your blog and beautiful photos.
