I’m just tryin’ to find the bridge…

Ten points if you got the Led Zeppelin reference in the title… but seriously… my younger daughter, Mollie, made that artistic interpretation of the Golden Gate bridge…

When I first took a picture… inside the house… it looked more orange…

Look, even our dog is impressed…

The funny thing is that the real bridge is also either more orange or more red, depending on the lighting… but this is because I used my old, cheap camera because I was in a hurry…

Anyway, she whipped that together in less than four hours for a tiny little school project… and I have to say… I gave her some dang good art genes… HA!!!

    And if she weren’t so short on time, the bridge would’ve been longer, too.

    • no sense showing off…

        She’s going to be an engineer. ha! Years ago I drove tractor-trailer in northern New Brunswick. At one point they were building a new highway some distance from the old road. In places there were service roads that connected the old road and the new highway. Then they stopped building and just left for more than a year. They had bridges and overpasses built that looked just like your daughter’s bridge – no ends on them. I had a chance to sit and talk with one of the engineers and I asked why they built bridges in the middle of the bush and then left them there going no where. he laughed and told me that the soil was not very stable so they had to let the bridges settle for at least a year before attaching roads to both ends. Your daughter’s model reminded me of that.
