Rio Grande Jolt Bridge

Remember that nervous‑excited feeling I mentioned previously? This bridge brings it right back. You have to look over the rail — it’s practically a dare — and the payoff is worth it. Just don’t drop your camera.

Staring down at all those repeating lines and colors, I realized this photo would make a brutal puzzle. The kind you love to hate. I’ve done a few of those in my day; a 3,000‑piece Where’s Waldo scene comes to mind.

Can you find Waldo in this photo? Don’t look too hard.

Photo made January 13, 2025, at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge in Taos, NM, using a Canon EOS 6D Mark II.
