Bridges of Johnson County...Part 3 (34 of 365)

As pointed out by a few of my friends, I apparently have a fascination with bridges. Oh well, enjoy it!


Over my lunch break, I met up with a few friends and we made our way to Sapling Grove Park. Being that we were "new" to the area and looking out for hot spots to get away from the office during lunch, we where trying out different parks and restaurants and found this.


I snapped this quick picture with my Nexus One on our way back to the car on 04.14.2010.

Checking For Trolls (22 of 365)

Went for a walk over lunch today with a couple of friends from work. One of the last few times we will be able to do this over lunch until our company moves to a new building. Sometime in the first week of April we are moving from Leawood to Lenexa, not a huge move but a bigger building and I'm sure a lot of other benefits to the company than I know to list.

This trail is within walking distance from our Leawood office and is called the Indian Creek Bike Trail and goes through Foxhill South Park. A perfect place for sitting outside and enjoying the sun over lunch break.

This photograph was taken with my Nexus One of the 435 Highway bridge that crosses over the Indian Creek Bike Trail and Indian Creek.

I was pretty rushed today so I did not really have much chance to be inspired and grab a snapshot of anything, so I'm bending the rules again and bringing up another photo from the nature walk on 03.21.2010.

Using the monochrome setting on my XSi and the 18-55mm lens, I snapped this photograph of the bridge I talked about in an earlier post. A good friend once said, after looking through photographs I had taken, that I have a thing for vanishing points. What can I say...it is the truth!

Bridges of Johnson County (18 of 365)

Being that I was not feeling the best yesterday afternoon, and happened to pass out early, I did not get the chance to upload a picture of the day. I am making it up for all those who missed out.

This is the Prairie Star Parkway overpass which crosses over the bike trail I mentioned in my post from Sunday. This overpass is very well built and looks very pretty lit up at night. Another neat feature this bridge has is an anti-ice system. With a large creek, two railway tracks, and a bike path all going underneath it, one can imagine a bridge of its size would normally have quite a bit of ice.

This photograph was taken on 03.21.2010 with my XSi using my 18-55mm lens. Being that it had just snowed the anti-ice must have been on because we had to dodge showers of water drops to cross underneath the bridge!
