A river?

A canyon?

Nice guess, but no.

Bonus Clue:

[1ForAll]

A river?

No. It is not water, but often involves that in some way.

 

[1ForAll]

The answer: A bridge. I often see that as a symbol of the present when on it, after I just left the past path or road leading to the bridge behind. Once I cross the bridge that leads to my future.

A bridge often goes over smaller to medium width bodies of water, can be covered or not. Most are seen as strong and sturdy, but several older ones weak and structurally flawed. They can go straight connecting two points and leading somewhere or curve often up or down and do the same.

Some bridges though do not lead further because of damage or like because it was built more as a symbol or some attraction. In any case, usually the views from a.bridge are amazing, or when looking towards it, with either it's specIal designs and unique features, or because of where it is located, usually making bridges seen in a historic or positive way.

So, that is a summary of that riddle and the tips, and how I view bridges.

Without my own umbrella, I would never go.

Next riddle:

A strand of me thinner than one hair,
and invented by a kind of doctor.
I was used for research.
and in places of fun.
I can be made in many colors,
be named differently elsewhere
and be shaped and spun.


What am I?

Carbon fibers?

Good guess but no. Tip #1: Think of the final product as a large collection of many thin strands organized in some shapely way..

 

[1ForAll]

dna?

Good try too, but no.

 

[1ForAll]

synthetic polymers - Nylon

No, but many many strands packaged together to create some product is on the right track.

@Outdated's beard?

@Forest Cat is almost the winner, but not quite yet. Just need a bit more thought into that very close answer and he will get it I bet.

Silly putty?

No, not that size and texture. Look at Forest Cat's recent answer for more clues there.
