The camera set on the boards that you drive on

One of those boards that is in need of repair

From gravel road to wooden Bridge....

One of the girders that helps hold the Bridge in place

The nails that hold the driving boards in place...

And Another....looks like this one aggravated someone....

One of the bolts that holds the Bridge to the Girders.....

Concrete retaining wall that is at the start of the Bridge....this was added in later years not with the original construction.

Looking through the planks of the bridge to the ground below...
|
Not sure who replaced this board but I would say they need practice hammering nails into oak boards.....

This is the bridge we cross each time we want to capture the pictures of the Eagles at the camping area known as "Birds Nest Lodge". It crossed the Meramac River about 30 feet off the water. It sounds like it could give way at anytime; but in 1914 things were built to last.

Fascinating bridge although as you say some of it needs a little repair work. Lots of beautiful textures captured here...and love some of the perspectives

Great view. Love the "oldness" of the bridge, and the rust. However, kinda scary this is what we all have to drive on. Crumbling infrastructure across the US... So sad. Lets keep throwing more money into defense though....

Karman, your shots are wonderful. They bring back great memories of my childhood and the bridges just like these that we played on in the coal mine regions of Western Pa. Wow.

Karman, in my opinion, this is your best post yet. Your angles, focus, composition, lighting are all super! I really like #10, 11 & 16, but each one is worthy of it's own post. Great job!!
