Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash I haven’t blogged in a while. For two years, I put this blog on private as I’d no longer had the willpower to push out blog posts the way that I did six years ago. I write a little more about this in my blog post Why Do You Do… ? Recently, I have revamped my blog. I have unpublished posts that didn’t reflect who I was then or who I am now, or those that felt too personal to share ‘out there’. I also removed posts I wrote just for the sake of posting content and main taining an audience, even when inauthentic to me.

Sepia Saturday provides bloggers with an opportunity to share their history through the medium of photographs
I haven't participated in Sepia Saturday in a couple of weeks. I will have to play catch up later, so stay tuned for those upcoming posts.
This week's photo prompt features an electric tramway going down a curvy steep roadway. I thought about several ways to take this prompt, but I have chosen two ways - bridges and trams.
The first photo is the Ambassador Bridge which connects Detroit to Windsor, Ontario, Canada. My parents rode on this bridge to go to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon.

Here is a vintage postcard of the bridge.
Trams
This photo was taken in the Detroit Metro Airport.
This is Detroit's streetcar system called QLine. I featured this on another Sepia Saturday post, but since I couldn't find any vintage images of trams in Detroit that were available, I stuck to this one. Click here to view a guide to using the QLine. (There may be ads played in the background).
