#AtoZChallenge 2018 – N for Natural Bridge


There are two places I have been to that it’s called Natural Bridge – one (shown in above photo) is in Yoho National Park in British Columbia, Canada and the other is in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. Both are amazing natural structures but if I have to pick a favorite, I would pick the Natural Bridge in Canada.

I briefly mentioned visiting the Natural Bridge in F for Field. I wrote that it was rainy and cold that day, the kind of weather that didn’t motivate us to want to go anywhere. However, what I didn’t mention was that the rain stopped for a brief moment while my aunt and I were at the Natural Bridge. The brief pause of rain allowed us to make our way to the other side of bridge, to get a closer shot of the Kicking Horse River as well as allowed me to capture shots of foliage and a guy photo-bombing my photo!
