This week's PhotoHunt theme is Bridge.
Here is the Natural Bridge in Virginia, which we visited last year. Now for some history, according their site: It was formed when a cavern collapsed and left the strip of land that spans now. Monacan Indian legend has it that Natural Bridge appeared just as they needed to escape from an advancing enemy. Young George Washington surveyed the Natural Bridge site for Lord Fairfax. Landmarks remain of the work and on the wall of the bridge where he carved his initials (we spent a long time looking for the initials but there are sooooo many we couldn't find them). Thomas Jefferson used to own the land.
Here's the pic, which doesn't do it justice. Please excuse the poor image quality; it was taken with an old (and cheap) cam.
If you are ever visiting the Shenandoah Valley in Virgina, you should definitely stop by. It really is breath-taking.

That is beautiful. We have a natural bridge here on the Gold Coast. I love the scenery. Enjoy your weekend.
I was just there last summer...for the first time. I never found the initials either. Quite something to think about how it formed and too, all its history.
That's really beautiful - love natural bridges. Makes you appreciate how God made the world perfectly.
