My Bridge Travels: A Photolog 1.3

In Milton, Massachusetts - "Another brick out of the wall"


Just a few years ago, in college, Pink Floyd's song, 'Another Brick in the Wall', resonated often in the lobby of the dorm, especially during the exam time. This track was released in 1979. In contrast, while listening to the news this morning about the rising tensions in the Korean peninsula, I thought how just one brick 'out of the wall' can stir the entire  world.

World affairs and generational music aside, this photo shows a small block of granite at the end of the railing of an arch bridge in Milton, dislodged from its original position. As with many older bridges, even this bridge has a non-standard guard rail transition.
