  • Junction Bridge

    Rerun: This post was originally run in May 2020, almost 2 years ago. Amazing how much has changed in two years. I’ve actually combined two older posts into this one. These photos were taken April 24, 2020. In March of that year, the big Covid shut-down began. I was working… Listen ⇢
