My husband and I ran across this old bridge at night once and I wanted to find it again, so we drove home from our errands the other day and found the bridge which is located near the Old Bailey community. Bailey is in Grady County and is 12 miles North East of Marlow. Don't look for signs giving you directions, there aren't any. There is a church and a school. It had a post office from 1892 to 1932. It was named for J.J. Bailey a wagon master on the stage line to Fort Sill, according to the book Oklahoma Place Names by George H. Shirk.
We drove by the old Church, which looks like it may have been something else prior to becoming the community church and around to find the bridge we were looking for.
Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known. ~From Winnie The Pooh
My Husband thought this was fun. He used to work on bridges. I was not so sure.
He was practicing his photography... from that height on the bridge.... see how far down it was.

39... going on 10... sometimes. But it is more fun going out driving around in the country taking pictures of whatever catches my eye then going to a movie or shopping or just about anything I can think of. We had a good afternoon.
From the fisheye lens... Such a neat warped perspective. I love it. My lines have all turned to curves and I love lines... but curves are interesting. Now, of course I want a new wide angled lens so I can have the width with those straight lines that I love in photography.
