The Bridges of Meghalaya
Evening Silhouettes - Bridge at Dianthelan Waterfall
Its the bridge that gaps the gorge or the bridge that take
you forth, bridges have always built relations. Bridges caught my fancy after
a dear friend asked me to watch a 1990's Hollywood movie, "The bridges of
Madison County." Yeah, the movie was enthralling and left me with a yet new
bug of photographing bridges. I couldn't
wait to execute, as my next travel destination was the pristine 'Meghalaya.'
This blog is dedicated to 'The Bridges of Meghalaya.'

Meghalaya, the abode
of clouds was a welcome journey. Stationed at Cherapunji, my itinerary was to
explore places around Cherapunji. Unlike the said torrent of rains at Cherapunji,
a planned holiday helped in fetching the best of landscapes. The post
monsoon period is a time to be here. The humungous clouds straddled on the
cerulean skies will be your ever companion here. The late evening rain showers
are a definite welcome after the day's heat.

They were the bridges over rivers, over gorges and raving waterfalls.

Some bedecked with flowers, yet rugged in their own way.

Some were the man-made root bridges rendering one speechless on its intricate
architecture.

The different moods at different times of the day, did encourage me in composing this blog
"The bridges of Meghalaya'

Yet, the bridge that did not bridge..did leave a gap known.
