Eau de Chaves

Some water related scenes from Chaves.  A beautiful series of parks and bridges ran along the river. 

Stepping stones across the river, with blogdaughter.  Blogson made it across, there was one stone in the middle missing, requiring a leap of faith as well as a leap to cross.  A man on this side of the river told us that the previous kids to cross had fallen into the river. 

An interesting take on a bridge.  I like that the Portuguese will experiment with different types and styles of bridges.  

A smaller bridge across a tributary draining into the Tamega, the main Chaves river.  

The Roman bridge across the water -- now a pedestrian crosswalk.  

Reflections on the water.  

Country Lanes

Country lanes and roads of Canyon Country.

Road down into the wash. 

Lost Canyon. Or so it seems. 

Country lane, complete with ruts.  

A river runs through it.  The train is OK, it goes overhead on its own bridge.  I watched one truck drive through spinning his wheels mightily to make it through.  There was also a dirt biker driving around, but I wasn't here when he went through.  

View from the other direction.  Confluence of train trestle, road and wash. 

Oak Spring Canyon Road.  There's a tree in the road that I was mightily anticipating photoing, but a vehicle was parked in front with the driver just sitting there, and I didn't get my shots.
