HFF

A car bridge over the Indus River on the Skardu road in Baltistan, far North east Pakistan. This bridge is the sole vehicle access for all transport up a steep, narrow hairpin dirt track which winds through tiny hamlets to a high village at 4200meters. It crosses this lower mountain and climbs into the higher ones behind. Closed in winter, isolating the inhabitants, and very dangerous with any rain….one to hold tight and trust the driver! It is autumn, and a bit grey..we watched the skies closely as we went up and down the track, fearing rain.

Happy happy Friday, and an exhilarating weekend to you! ❤️

Another very impressive landscape.............and a very perilous looking bridge Diana. I like the mountainous background and the detail in the rocks and cliffs in the foreground. I also like the vibrant colours of the trees. Beautifully composed and taken.

I am intrigued by the purpose of the nets behind the bridge?

Diana Australis replied to Keith Burton:

Do you mean the wire frameworks which form part of the suspension bridge structure, Keith? These bridges in the remote areas across the rivers are actually wooden suspension bridges…they sway when you drive across them. On one very dilapidated one, a chap spent his day banging nails back in each time vehicle crossed! You hold your breath as you cross! ;-)
