The Learning Curve: Hanging from a Pier:

Woman in Kerchief

Woman in a kerchief.  Japan, probably late 1960s.

Hazardous Crossing

At Sukien Gardens.   late 60s.

Under the Bridge

Support posts under a wooden bridge.  Japan, late '60s.  I don't know what bridge this is, though it appears to be at a temple (note the torii.)

Sweeper by a Bridge

Old man cleaning the surface of a stream.  I don't know the story behind this picture, but it seems characteristic.

Lakeside Peaks of Otter Lodge (sketch)

Lakeside sketch at the Peaks of Otter Lodge, Virginia.  February 1997.

Four Bridges

Four bridges across a wide river bed.  Japan late 60s.

Wee Bridge (sketch)

Wee Bridge.  Orkney Springs, Virginia.  11/2/07.

Kintai Bridge (shaded steps)

This is the Kintai Bridge in Iwakuni again.   RTH found many good angles and different lighting in which to view it.

Campo San Vidal, Venice

Campo San Vidal, in Venice, Italy.  7/10/1994

Bridge in a Public Garden

Bridge in a public garden in Japan.  Late 60s.

Kintai Bridge, Iwakuni, Japan

Shadows on stairsteps (photo)

This is the Kintai Bridge, in Iwakuni, Japan.  RTH took many different pictures of this bridge.  When I received the set of scans that included this photo, this one was sideways.  It took a little while to identify the subject.

Jennie on a Bridge

I'm not sure where this was taken.  Clearly Japan in the late 60s.  JLH on a bridge.

Bridge at the Itsukushima Shrine

This bridge is at the Itsukushima Shrine, on Miyajima Island, in Japan.  This is the shrine with the famous floating torii.

Manette Bridge, Bremerton, Washington

According to JLH:

This was painted while we lived in Bremerton, Washington, from July through November, 1955.  This was the view from our third floor walkup apartment on Highland Street.  It is the Manette Bridge, over a portion of the Puget Sound.

She has it hanging in her apartment now.

Red Bridge

Red wooden bridge at Nikko.  From a slide.

Ponte Rialto

Ponte Rialto, Venice, Italy.  7/10/94.

Arched Bridges

I have a large print of this hanging at home.   I'm very happy that I've located the negative.  I've seen several prints of this image (with varying levels of contrast), so I know both that RTH liked it, and that other people wanted copies as well.

Untitled (Boathouse and Bridge)

5/13/96.  Sketch in ink.  I haven't seen a source for this, so it could have been drawn from RTH's imagination rather than from an actual site.

[JLH says it was drawn at Peaks of Otter in Virginia.]
