Bridge over Santa Rosa, Noveleta
As this river divides two barangays (town/city sub-division smaller than the city) in the A bridge above it connects the two. Without this bridge, people from the right side have to travel more than 5 kilometers at the town proper just to go to the other side. At the same time, people going to Manila from the upland towns cut a big portion of their travel time because of this link. Aren't bridges wonderful?
...throughout history, bridges have been so important.
ReplyDeleteThat is true Tom! Aside from connecting people and cultures, it also has been used as weapons to protect a society :)
DeleteEs un buen motivo fotográfico, que he tenido en cuenta en mis entradas.
ReplyDeleteTiene mucha belleza, ese sencillo puente. Me gusta esa vista, de tu fotografía.
Besos
Muchas gracias! Tome esta foto mientras conduciamos y realmente aprecie la vista.
DeleteEnviando abrazos!
Bridges are great and it seems there it allows people to save time.
ReplyDeleteVery big amounts of time Sami, you are right! Not just becaus eof the length of the other detour but the streets are narrow and traffic is a usual!
DeleteNice photo and we need bridges:)))
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Anita, bridges are a must and its good that we appreciate their function :)
DeleteBridges make it easier for people. You get used to it and when it closes for repair, you get aggravated and have to go way out of your way to get to your destination. Shops that rely on people stopping in their business realy can be afected by a bridge closed for repairs for a long time. I read a story of a town in the US that people couldn't get access to because they had to build a new bridge and the town suffered. Good post, most people probably don't think of this issue until it happens. Have a great day, my friend.
ReplyDeleteOh my friend Bill! You said it absolutely perfectly! Since people get used to using and crossing bridges, they think that it's normal and they don;t notice its importance only until repairs have to be done to it that instead of thanking the bridge they even get mad at it like it's unbreakable hahaha Very much true! Thank you so much my friend and have an awesome Wednesday!
DeleteDear Stevenson, as long as we haven´t invented beaming for real yet, bridges are a great alternative, right?
ReplyDeleteI want beaming, though. Just imagine. Step outside, make your wish and... tadaaa...
Iris!!! That is such a dream! People always ask me what superpower I want, I always say teleportation, because it will make me travel EVERYWHERE! Hahaha Would so love that Iris!
DeleteBonita foto!!

Oh I cannot add more to what you said dear Carol, very very true! So we should always cherish and be grateful for what we have :)
DeleteI think bridges are wonderful, but sometimes I wonder who had the courage to build the first one over some of the big rivers...such as across the Mississippi river.
ReplyDeleteAnd now you made me wonder too dear Rose! Who ever did, they started a good amount of courage to many more, especially those that build tunnels and bridges across seas just like the links between France and UK, and Sweden and Denmark :)
DeleteBridges have provided so many connections throughout history and they continue to do so with be longer all the time.
ReplyDeleteThat is very very true Michelle, we are here and our days are always better directly and indirectly thanks to the bridges :)
DeleteIt's helped a lot by people with this bridge, Stevenson. They save a lot of time and energy. You are very informative👍
ReplyDeleteThat is very true my friend! Praying that all our bridges near and far would continue to be sturdy and safe!
DeleteBridges are so essential - I guess they started with logs over streams and become ever longer and larger...
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

That is very true Maxine! Without those logs long enough, we may never have the giant ones at the moment :)
DeleteAmo los puente amigo.
ReplyDeleteCuídate.
Un abrazo.
Muchas Gracias Amiga Laura!
DeleteThey certainly are SQ, always have been 💜
ReplyDeleteSending you hugs all the way to Perth, with the internet as our bridge 💜
DeleteOh agreed, bridges are wonderful inventions! Time savers :-D There are plenty in Scotland. :-D
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure the bridges there in Scotland are so beautiful! here we only have the regular cement ones :)
DeleteOh there are some fancy bridges here in Scotland - I'll show you some one day soon hopefully :-D
DeleteI love bridges -- so long as they aren't too tall. Then I get very nervous!
ReplyDeleteOh Jeanie! We are so the same! I remember walking across the Golden gate Bridge, I thought I was gonna faint!
