And yet another train bridge that to my knowledge is no longer in service as it slowly rusts away, but I loved the reflections it made in the water.

It's almost that time to give thanks again. I love that song I learned in childhood and I love this wonderful shot! A wonderful capture of the river and the bridge and the reflections and colors are tops! A really very fine capture, PJ!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

A nice reflective shot...no shots from the middle of the bridge? How about an underwater shot looking up at the bridge? Nice work.

What song is that? Never mind I'm off to Grandma's house. I too love the reflection. Such a part of Americana that has fallen by the wayside. All the endeavors to connect the country with rails, the disconnect them. Maybe's there a moral here. Good photo. Thought provoking.

Actually the rusty bridge slightly disturbs the beautiful river scene here Pj. The sky and the reflections are lovely and the river bank looks good too.

Aloha PJ, For some reason when I opened it up in full view the image looks like a wide angle shot, even the view above has that same effect. I'm going to have to take it home and study it, so when I need to show that same effect, I'll have it in my tool bag. Very nice of you to share this with us. Nice work PJ!
