Written for Jenn’s Sensational Haiku Wednesday 173 with prompt –bridge-
is there any significance to the bridge walk? you have me wondering...bridges are pretty cool though...sounds like a rather long one...the one to the keys is brutally long...pretty good distance for a walk...
ReplyDeleteIt being an annual event for Labor Day celebrations apparently. From google images (under copyright)of the MDOT (Mackinac Department of Transport)it appeared to be a leisurely walk ie not a competition of any kind. Any kind soul from the Great Lakes area can help us here. I would like to know myself too! Thanks Brian!

Wow looks like one very long bridge
ReplyDeleteWould be interesting to walk across it
Must have some point from going to ridge to ridge
Either way the daily exercise is surely hit
The bridge seems a logical thing
DeleteThe 2 peninsulas it did connect
If on it one does a bit of running
It's quite a distance for impact

Looking at the picture, for a moment I thought it was Penang. There's a lot of information you shared here Hank and I enjoyed it. And you got to me before I got to you :) Thank you Hank.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ma'am! Wonderful to have you with us again. Just curious! You've changed your handle. And Fazliza sounds sweet! I found out you're back when I visited Brian's!
DeleteHank
nice lines on that lovely bridge...sounds like you are proud of it too!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! It's awesome. Was at NY's Brooklyn and Frisco's Golden Gate once before. Suddenly man appears so small!
DeleteHank
Now that's a big bridge. Nice one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anthony! 5 miles across water is quite a journey. It's big!
DeleteHank
oh i love bridges - maybe cause they speak of connecting...this one is very cool..
ReplyDeleteJust imagine! A 5 mile gap connected and 2 big peninsulas became one!
DeleteHank
I love bridges - especially awesome long ones or high ones - my favorites are those that climbing very steeply upward and you can see through the steel grating down to the water! Never been on the Mackinac but it looks like an awesome bridge, especially if it's five miles long!
ReplyDeleteYes, its awesome and picturesque too!
DeleteHank
Bridges are a great source of connection !!!
ReplyDeleteYes it is! Scattered communities become one!
DeleteHank
A most impressive bridge, enjoyed the post.
