To give existentialists and Sartre their/his/her/our due, any reason for any season is decided upon by each of us. Any bridge (acknowledging why some of us may or may not be here (on the site, not in the world)) between the collective and the individual is imaginary, but, hey, some of my best friends are imaginary... or may be imaginary...
or not...
but hey...

Great photography of a spectacular bridge!
Re: Too Many Photos?
Posted November 30, 2018
For the example given, I am not at all sure that the number of photos provided is excessive. Clicking through them quickly gives a great dynamic view of the bridge and takes little time, less time than it takes to criticize sincere effort.
I appreciate the photographer's considerable effort and skill and honestly wonder why someone would bother to find fault with it.
It is easy to click through photos quickly, pausing at those that grab the eye.
It isn't over 'til it's Grover
Posted November 26, 2017
Bridges named after Grover Cleveland are easy and illustrate a system for naming any bridge named after a President.
In the case of President Cleveland, the weak at heart may be challenged by the fact that he served two non-consecutive terms as president, but that is no problem for the right system. Grover was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States, so
POTUS22/24 - Oak Street Bridge over Pine Creek
Unless advised otherwise, I'm inclined to start renaming appropriate bridges at some inappropriate time.

Is one allowed to exhibit multiple personalities? That is: Is the display on the board of multiple personalities by one person a trassgrassion?
Re: Re: Thou Shall Not Steal
Posted August 10, 2015
Okay, one of Doug's personalities, now you've done it!
I was reading your post that began: "True It also says forgive those that steal also his trassgrassions and God will forgive you and your trassgrassions Patrick or Jesus will not forgive you for refusing to let it go..."
The post was silly, but I was doing fine with it until the "let it go" part and now that dang song is in my head and I can never forgive your for that...
another trassgrassion, whatever that is...
Re: Re - Bridge to Salvaton Comment

But how does that get your other personality to give proper credit to those photographers and copyright holders he's ripping off in producing the hordes of sketches he's unloaded on this website?
What about: Thou shalt not steal?

Steve, Doug and associated personalities:
What I'd like, at the very least, is for whichever personality is in charge at the time to start giving proper attribution to the sources for all those rough sketches that one of your personalities insists on showering upon us.
As to your religious advice, if its anything like the quality of your rough sketches...
Heaven help us.

Then he is continuing to fail to give proper attribution!!!

But, Steve Tunder, how do you feel about the whole bridge sketch thing?

Douglas Butler, you said "Keep coming with the critics not bothered"
Does that also mean that you will continue not to bother to properly credit the sources of the photographs on which your rough sketches are based? Any serious academic, at whatever level of education, recognizes that such credit is basic.
