Ironwork

Today we were walking around Grand Rapids, mostly along the Grand River. It was a glorious, almost spring day. Lots of sunshine and not all that chilly.  There are several bridges across the river, but none quite like the Sixth Street Bridge. It was built in 1886 for $31,000 and remains the oldest metal bridge in Michigan. It was made well, but also has some artistry to the work. The railings are as beautiful as they have proven durable. We could use more of that today, pride in good work and artistry in the small details.
