Wednesday Walking in the Frigid Cold

An entry for the #wednesdaywalk challenge hosted by @tattoodjay.

It was a cold one today! After finishing up work at the first site, I stopped by the old, destroyed footbridge site along the Beaver Creek. The temperatures were a "brisk," in the middle of single digit F temps. The wind was yet again cold and strong from the north. I of course didn't wear the proper clothes or bring warm gloves, so off I ran to get pictures.

I quickly made my way to the northern part of the small trail, then turned around. I would have climbed down to the creek, but the hands and fingers were on fire. Did I mention ever before, on Hive, how old I am beginning to feel?? I could still feel my nose, too, but that to was turning numb.

I took a few photos of the stairway that led to the area:

Then moved back to the bridge area to take some photos. I love the look of the cement bridge above. I'm not sure what type of architecture it embodies, but it's very Roman-esque/aqueduct-esque in my opinion. It's definitely a bit of local history that I need to research further.

A few more shots, and the fingers were stinging...back to the warm car I fled! You'd think being a native Wisconsinite would make days like this easy, but they are not. Most of the cold up here this time of year is fine, but the wind chill days in the -15F are tough, even for the most seasoned northerner. Myself included, of course!

A few minutes with the hands in front of the car heater, and all was back to normal. Cold, but worth it for a January #wednesdaywalk. Thanks for stopping by to take a look...hoping all had a wonderful Wednesday as well!
