At least they left the abutments there, so a new one can be built easier. LOL. Maumee, Ohio.

Jim this is well composed and it looks like ther was some snow on the ground when you took this one, People just have to deface anything they can get a hold of. I like your choice of framing for this one. =^..^=Tigs

Very funny title - they should be looking for someone with a back strain from lugging concrete and steel!

I think it is in Missouri, headed who knows where. I was behind a convoy of trucks today with parts of it on them. :)

I like the look of small town America in the background. Fine work.

Those old abutments look like a hazard to navigation, & I see you have some dare devil graffiti artists in Maumee.

I expect they are intending to remove the grafitti too. Looks like a lot of places across America. Hope you don't have to drive miles out of the way to get by here. Nice clear image, Jimbob. You'll have to show us thenew bridge in ten years when they complete it. I know how long these construction jobs sometimes take!

Can't help it, Jimbob, but your post (title and image) made that I've started this morning with a big smile on my face. I'm glad that your great sense of humour is still there!

Jimbob - Is there a reward for information on its whereabouts and return? While the bridge supports decay, life goes on as evidenced by the town in the background. Thad

Good work here Jim. Ran out of money for the total dismantle I would imagine.

Seems like artists are using the abutments as canvasses for their paintings. A lot of infrastructure in the US is falling into disrepair, but I see the Maume got a new bridge to replace the old old one...nice going JB!

Hey, Jimbo...

Finally got a computer that works; so I'm back at Caedes for the first time in a month. Did you miss me?

This is a lovely shot. Are my eyes deceiving me or is that snow in the background? Also looks to me that the river is nearing flood stage. Either that or you have some very determined graffiti artists who are willing to do their craft in icey waters.

Very nice colors and textures and an interesting and amusing shot.
