There is talk about this old bridge being replaced here soon. The original span was completed in 1917 and has stood the test of time since. Now the new $3.5 billion dollar structure is a hotly contested topic out here now. I think the old one is just fine. Looks good in the sunset colors.

The old one is great. This photo is like a document, Paul. Wonderful scene, so calm, relaxing and a bit mystic. I love it.

I think too many people want to build something because they can Paul. If it is safe, leave it be.
If looks beautiful silhouetted with the sunset.

The silhouette against the colored sky is gorgeous.
To bad they have to destroy something so beautiful.

A good perspective in the capture of this sunset bridge, Paul. Lovely colours in the sky and a nice silhouette of the bridge.

What a beautiful capture of this grand old bridge. We in the US seem to want to replace everything with " new ". Doing so destroys our history. Stunning color in this shot very well done.

Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun

I think it should be kept, its looks stunning against the sky.

Paul - Unfortunately, deterioration by age and increased volumes of traffic can bring about such debates - keeping and renovating the old bridge, or building a new one. What is not debatable is the beauty of this sunset and the silhouette of the bridge structure. Thad
