Connecting Divides and Amphibians on the Wild!

Welcome to the weekly Light Stalking community wrap up!

Clearly I'm no engineer — or anything else related — so whenever I stumble over a hanging bridge, my mind can't comprehend how something like that could be made. Even those with the most humble of sizes offer that levitating quality that makes my mind go places. However, I'm highly ignorant about how meaningful these might be to our everyday lives.

But why am I talking about bridges anyway?

Last week, Tersha pulled one of those topics that push us to look closer into what surrounds us. Just like the Becher‘s did with idle-looking surroundings back in the day, now we have the opportunity to do something similar but with bridges in mind. The overall theme refers to how bridges are capable of connecting divides, so let's honor those bridges connecting us!

What about a gathering at the terrarium for a change?

Tersha shared one of the most whimsical images ever to be published within our domain's walls. With brilliant composition and vantage point, one can easily remember the smell of humid soil and feel the proximity of all these beautiful creatures.

The Zavikon Island Bridge in Ontario, Canada, is considered the shortest international bridge in the world. I connects a Canadian Island to an American Island in the St. Lawrence River. The bridge is 32 feet long and connects a Canadian homeowners house to their backyard in America.
