My apologies, I guess my colorful photo art post yesterday sent the website into a tizzy since the scheduled post didn’t go through until I published it manually…oh well, maybe this black and white image will get things back on track.
Otherwise, I find this walking bridge, aka the railroad trestle, to be photo worthy anytime of year, even in the dead of winter.
A great place to take visiting friends or family, it truly has an interesting history, as the sign indicates, as well as the website, https://peninsulapassage.com/johnson-creek-train-trestle/ :
“410 feet long and 86 feet high, it is the largest railroad trestle on the Olympic Peninsula. It is curved and banked for strength and stability. These two platforms originally held barrels of water for use in the event of a fire. Platforms were built with money raised by friends of Jerry Williamson…1947-2002”
Fast forward to today, and we find it being part of the Olympic Discovery Trail (since 2002) and a beautiful crossing for runners, walkers and bikers. Another reason to tackle the temps and get outdoors!
Lovely spot. Kay showed it to me several years ago.
Sequim Daily Photo was one of the reasons that I moved to Sequim almost 13 years ago.
Though I don’t comment often, the site is part of my daily routine. Very thankful that Colleen and now you have kept it going since we lost Kay.
Yes, it’s a beautiful spot and I’m sure it must bring back good memories for you. I didn’t know Kay, but from what I can tell, she must have been a remarkable person and the blog must have been very compelling to prompt your move! I know Colleen was committed to keeping it going, and with reader support, I plan to do the same. So enjoy your daily routine, and keep turning in, please!
