Here is my entry for Marsha’s, Always Write blog, PPAC #23.
Bridges often are public works of art.
Featured Bloggers
We had a marvelous response from all of you on last week’s PPAC #22. Marsha picked out the featured bloggers and says “thank you” to each of you for joining along in our challenge. Their posts really grabbed Cee’s attention. They are all worthy of a second or third look.
Public art is which encompasses any form of art you see in a public place, large or small, statues, murals, graffiti, gardens, Christmas lights, even buildings or bridges. The art should be visible from streets, sidewalks or outdoor public places.
I’ve gathered a list of challenges and their hosts. So if you know a challenge host, please direct them to my blog. Feel free to contact me anytime. I hope everyone will be able to use my lists.

We have some lovely (and some ugly!) bridges in Chicago. It’s fun to get a close look at them on a boat tour of the Chicago River. Very nice selection of interesting bridges, Cee!

You notice I don’t have the Portland Bridges. Although there are a couple cool ones 😀

Beautiful Photos, I’ve been over a few of those bridges, all but the 101 and that has to go on my list. Hoping to get up there in March, fingers crossed for good weather and no Covid. Have a good day

No Covid would be nice. I think that bridge is south of Newport. 😀 😀

Beautiful bridges, Cee. They bring back good memories of driving to the Falls after class with Mom, and sight-seeing around Oregon. It’s a beautiful place. 🙂

Some bridges are too ugly to count, but the beautiful or architectural ones definitely count….at least in my book 😀
