Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #31: Landscape

Posted on February 4, 2019 by Miriam Hurdle 41 comments

Amy‘s theme this week for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #31 is Landscapes. I included some photos of natural landscape and architecturally designed landscape.

I took this photo on the Alaska trip when our train passed by Hurricane Gorge, Alaska. They named it because the wind could go 150 miles per hour. The train slowed down for passengers to take photos from the bridge. The Hurricane Gulch Bridge is a 918 feet long steel arch railroad bridge and is 296 feet above the Hurricane creek. It is both the longest and tallest bridge on the entire Alaska Railroad.

There are also staircases to walk down to the river and walk up. I chose to take the staircase. Here I was, in the yellow shirt.
