Located in Winston County Alabama in the town of Natural Bridge, is a feature worthy of an hour or two of your time if you are ever in the neighborhood. While there are several natural bridges located in many different states, this is the longest natural rock bridge span east of the Rockies. The picture below is a view of the 127' long rock bridge as you approach from the short trail leading from the parking area.
Below picture is from under the rock span. As I stood looking how best to capture a presentable view of the bridge, a few rays of sunlight broke through the clouds and came streaming through the opening from above adding a little grandeur to the photo, and thus providing exactly what I was searching for. Isn't it nice when the picture comes to you! Ha Ha! Thank you Father!
Another shot of the two openings or I guess you could say two natural bridges.
This last picture is of Indian Head Rock. It is located just before you get to the Natural Bridge. Look closely and you can see the hair line, eye brow, nose, lips and chin. The features do resemble an Indian head.
"Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does Nature, because in her inventions, nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous."
