Approximately 5 kilometers from Falcarragh Co Donegal, there is an attractive little stone bridge, which most people pass over nowadays, without a second thought. But if you look more carefully, and pay attention to the nearby plaque, your curiosity may be raised somewhat. The plaque is written in Irish, and translates into English as, “Friends and relatives of the person emigrating would come this far. Here they parted. This is the Bridge of Tears”. Long before the building of the railway, or modern roads, this was the most common route leading from this area, to Derry 50 miles away, and hence to the ships which would take them to England, Scotland, Australia and America. The relatives of those emigrating would accompany them along the long walk up towards Muckish Gap, and here their Goodbyes would be said. There was no “See you soon”s or “Catch you later.” The departure was treated like a death, for they would never be seen again. Crossing The Bridge had a finality for those who left, and for those who were left behind. And many tears were shed in this lonesome and beautiful place. A simple plaque in stone beside the bridge reads: “Fad leis seo a thagadh cairde agus lucht gaoil an té a bhí ag imeacht chun na coigrithe. B’anseo an scaradh. Seo Droichead na nDeor”. ("Family and friends of the person leaving for foreign lands would come this far. Here was the separation. This is the Bridge of Tears".) The loved one’s of those leaving didn’t cross the bridge; it was those leaving who crossed on their own. If those bricks on that bridge could speak, what very sad tragic tales they would tell. If you ever happen to visit it, strange as it may sound but you do feel the sadness and loneliness of the bridge and that long road from it.

"So go 'round every corner Search every part of the sky 'Cause a life that's full of wonder Is a wonderful life Dig beneath the surface Find the lessons there to learn And then dig deeper Feed your intuition Don't leave any stone unturned Be the seeker of the truth Listen when you hear it calling you" From my favourite song. I recommend you to listen the polish version by talented Małgorzata Kozłowska :) #malgorzatakozlowska #sky #wonderful #wonder #life #song #singer #artist #sea #seaside #bridge #stone #boat #girl #photography #nikon #portugal #missingsummer #photogram #instagramphoto #photo #landscape

Viele Jahre war ich nicht mehr dort in der Gegend, nun geht mein Sohn dort ins Gymnasium und ich bin heute am #sbahnhof #bornholmerbrücke ausgestiegen. Diese Brücke ist für mich immer ein #wahrzeichen der #teilung und #wiedervereinigung Deutschlands. Kurz von dem 30. Jahrestag des Falls der #berlinermauer muss ich besonders daran denken, dass es meine #familie mein Ein und alles nicht geben würde, wenn es nicht dazu gekommen wäre und ich spüre pure #dankbarkeit ❤️🙏 für 30 Jahre #freiheit ✌️ und Glück ☘️ #details #bridge #brücke #metall #nieten

String theory. The starting point for string theory is the idea that the point-like particles of particle physics can also be modeled as one-dimensional objects called strings. String theorydescribes how strings propagate through space and interact with each other. #stringtheory #space #science #physics #theory #othermeasurements #measurementsoftheuniverse #starrysky #guitar #fixedbridge #design #pickup #humbucker #dark #bolts #springs #bridge #a #i #sevenstring #reflection #art #artphotography #creative #perspective #oneplus #shotononeplus #termit7photo #termit7
