Do you ever just get a hunch that you feel strongly about? I was passing through a part of our state earlier this week coming back from a meeting (it was a long road trip). The area I was passing through was hilly and beautiful, with a river running through with large ravines. All of a sudden, I got this hunch that there possibly would be some great bridge to photograph. So as I explored this area like Lewis and Clark, I came across this beautiful site.
This bridge is still active, however it’s one lane with a minimum weight capacity. I did not drive over this bridge but did get out to walk upon it to get some great photographs for all of you, :). I have never been one afraid of heights, but all of a sudden with the side rails looking the way they did, I had a queasy feeling in my stomach and I had to get off the bridge. My lovely bride is not a fan of bridges with any type of wood. I don’t think she would have enjoyed this site like I did, love ya babe.
A photographer friend of mine is posting on her blog What Does Your World Look Like. Her theme this week is BRIDGES, go check it out and post a bridge you have stumbled upon.
You really manage to find the most amazing and interesting bridges….
well worth the look I say!!
ek gaan in 4 dae huis toe!!!!!
Great stuff. I’ve been taking some shots of Bridges near me on my blog but you can’t just “stumble” upon something like these ones in the UK. Lovely captures. The PP works very well.
Gorgeous!
You are fortunate to have such wonderful architectural structures to photograph. I love the lines and the conversion makes it look more appropriate! Kudos to you for exploring around. I will often see things that I would love to photograph but I have somewhere to be or the toddler is with me or it is cold or…
B Dad,
This is a GREAT bridge, now I want to go see it. Your right I have total “bridge love”. HA. Thanks for contributing.

Oh ack. I almost lost my coffee just looking at the photos.
Please never go on those again until all of our children have moved out and found jobs.
Love you.
ps – Wood is not a forever structure.
I’m just sayin’.
Hey B Dad, I checked out your friends site. You took some excellent shots, as always.
Great shots, great find! Love it’s character….mmmm.
What an incredible find for you! Kudos to you for exploring until you found it.
This just cements my goal to take my son (who’s learning to shoot along with me!) every weekend to scout out some new site. Thank you for telling the story, too – it gives the beautiful shots more meaning. Love, LOVE the conversion.
Wow. I just love this. Very amazing bridge! Fantastic pictures.
Nice bridge shots. I shot an old railroad bridge near my house in the snow last month.
