The fall of Dunedin's footbridge

This wonderful image has a context, a history, a poem and an exhibition at Kay’s post Locomotives and Locomotion, and I hope neither she nor its creator will mind my reproducing it here.

I love stories of this kind, in which place and people and creative endeavour intertwine.  Such events generate an aesthetic of their own.

And while I do not normally care for dogs in costume (not least the poor bee-dogs and their ilk), this captioned Pomeranian made me laugh and laugh:

I'm on ur dek, pooping

What a wonderful surprise to see a familiar painting emerge on your blog when I clicked on over to see what you were up to Harvestbird! (For a nano-second I thought, this can’t be right … and that I was back at my own blog again!)
Thank you! :)

The image caught my eye so utterly in your post I felt like I had to have it here, not to mention the story that went with it! Thank you for letting me share it.
