I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised that West River Parkway would be closed just past the University of Minnesota…
But this did surprise me. I wasn’t expecting to find the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge piled on the riverbank.
I was subdued on my ride back, and very happy to return home to my silly kitties.
*sun bliss* – Chaos & Mayhem
Wow. Twisted, rusting metal; the sign and everything. Sweet, loving kitties do put a smile on your face though.
That is a grim reminder! So good to have the kitties to come to.
I was thinking about that bridge yesterday – so sad. Those kitties are so much fun.
Nothing quite like silly kitties to brighten a day!
Hmmm – where does one throw out a bridge?? Thank goodness for kitties.
We need to remember that a slice of sun is all we need to be happy.
It isn’t until you post a picture of the two of them like that that it is really obvious that the Big Kitty is.
Wow – that fourth picture says so much…
Chris- I learned from our Bearded Dragon about “basking”- that’s what the kitties are doing.
Great lizard impression, guys.
i’m not sure why, but i was hoping that trail closed sign would have been misspelled trial.
Bohemian Flats? rather eerie to see it though. (the atty across the hall from me is working on the bridge case. I hear way more than I want to on the subject. actually, I hear more than I want to know on most any of his cases – he’s rather loud.)
love the sun kitties
What a strange sight. At least the kitties are there to make you smile!!
Hug the kitties. That makes everything better again.
I’m surprised they’ve let that lay like that….I’m also surprised how quickly the new bridge will open.
Have you heard what they will do with all that debris? I thought it would be gone by now – politicians seem to like to sweep away reminders….
Yikes. That seems a bit insensitive of them- to just have it lying around like that.
That’s a lot of scrap metal. That would be very weird to run across, just laying around.
Aw. Cute basking kitties.
Oh my. Yup, silly kitties is the way to go.
I see May’s white Vee! heehee!
That’s some pile’o’bridge.
Oh honey!!! ugh.
Where do you put a bridge when it falls down? I guess you have to put it somewhere, but still…
It’s always good to see kitties catching sun beams.
Very moving sight, all that twisted blue, rusted metal.
Nothing like some kitty therapy to help soothe the sad soul.
Great pics! You are becoming a historian of sorts for the area.
