“Alice came to a fork in the road. ‘Which road do I take?’ she asked.
‘Where do you want to go?’ responded the Cheshire Cat.
‘I don’t know,’ Alice answered.
‘Then,’ said the Cat, ‘it doesn’t matter.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
an Alice arch if ever I’ve seen one (mrscarmichael)
Escape means drinking the potion, going through the little door, falling down the rabbit hole, making the journey. Just make sure you choose to take the road.
The asphalt can lead me anywhere it wants #escapeisthethingidobest.
Yes I do like that photo of yours. I actually do have a pic of the two arches too. They are more separate than those of the BB. And they are both on a tilt. The BB will need an action movie to make that happen to it 🙂
Engineers come equipped with a sense of humor in Australia, then? They don’t over here!
I love the photo. Not sure how I would feel confronted with the actual arch on an actual bridge. Alice in Wonderland is perhaps my very favorite book in all the world, but as a book. As reality, hmmm.
Somehow this reminds me of the pilot — let’s call her Alice, shall we? — who announced to the plane, I have bad news and good news. The bad news is, we’re lost. The good news is, we’re making very good time!
Peace!
Or Captain Bob who’s lost all navigation equipment on his boat in a storm and says confidently that they must be almost there because the trip takes 40 gallons of gas and they only have half a gallon left!
Melbourne has a lot of great roadside structures, this being only one – my Patterns entry was another.
Cheers
A compelling photo, indeed, seemingly inviting one to drive through the arch to an unworldly dimension; and, too, Lewis Carroll expertly quoted: good work.

Oh, brilliant….always good to think outside the box…
I needed to Sue 🙂
Wow, wonderful !:)
I have to admit it’s one of my favourites.Thank you.
It has to be. Brilliant 🙂
Nice! It looks so surreal…
Yes, the cartoon sky helps. Thanks.
It is like a Live Picture! I feel as if I am going through it… Amazing Pic.
Thank you. I’ve been saving it for the right challenge.
That’s just too cool! Nice perspective.
Oh I like your and the story too – tell me now I have the right person.
Thank you, and yes I think you have the right person.
Is that arch real – or did you just tilt the camera!??? Love the alice and wonderland quote that accompanies it!
Utterly real and my hand was steady. It’s on the way into Melbourne where I was lucky enough to have escaped earlier this year.
Nothing like a bit of fantasy and escaping down that rabbit hole .. lovely post 🙂
Thanks so much – we all need a rabbit hole occasionally.
I like this photo! It really makes me feel like I’m there on the road. Well done mrsc!
Yes I think the engineer/architect must have some credit as well. It’s in Melbourne, BTW.
I wonder if it’s new. I don’t remember seeing it the last time we were on that road, which was in 2011.
Actually I don’t think it/they (there are actually two) were there 3 years ago so you might just be right.
This looks like the perfect escape into an Alice-like fantasy-land. Interesting photo, mrs. carmichael! 🙂
Thank you, not in Spain or Portugal I’m afraid.
Yes, an Alice arch indeed!
Top hats and tea spoons required 🙂
Ooooh…. very cool! What a great take on the theme!! : )))
Thanks, I didn’t think the video of my breaking Mr Carmichael outa jail was appropriate (JOKING).
I would have loved the moment of discovering this place! I would be looking for George Jetson . . .
Yes it is somewhat Jetsonesque isn’t it?
I love the angles and shapes in your photo and the feeling that something good is just ahead.

when I’m travelling something good is alway just ahead. Thank you for that concept, I love it.
looks like an exciting escape…♥ love it!
I loved it too – thanks.
This is fantastic – what a great “Alice” picture! 😀
Thanks, Dianne. Always fancied myself as a bit of an Alice.
take two of those archs and you’ll get a version of Manhattan’s Brooklyn Bridge!

Truth, they say… is stranger than fiction! 😉
Well, in the case of Mrs Carmichael that is certainly true.
Escape… a sup of potion, slip down truth’s kaleidoscopic hole? 😀
Give me one good reason not to.
I cannot dredge even one from my bottomless pit… I too, will fall through my own crack into the nether world of truth’s making with joy!
You haven’t been at the blood of Christ this fine Sunday morn now have you?

This is awesome!!! I love it and I’m now following you!!!! Have a great day!
Oh, thank you so much, Shazza 🙂
Great way to do the challenge. Love your weird and wonderful pic. Thanks for your visit to my blog. 🙂
Thank you and it was my pleasure.
I like that more.
thanks so much.

Why thank you but it is ‘only’ central Melbourne :). I guess the architect would be pretty pleased with your comments though, as, of course, am I.
It must have been exciting driving on that road. (I notice the brake marks on the asphalt.) A spectacular arch.
I find anywhere I don’t live exciting 🙂
