it was so nice of it to pose for me :) I've tried to re-create this photo in some form and I've never been this lucky again.

There aren't many picturesque bridges near my home and none of them are in the town I live so I decided to go another route. Something I really love is the railroad. I chase UP's steam engines around as much as possible and have been known to stop and take pictures of the modern diesels as they come through. My choices for this challenge are the two old railroad bridges which are in out of the way locations that haven't been replaced with the modern looking concrete and steel structures that are more appealing to the eye and have better clearance for vehicles. Both are inside the city limits.
The first of these is only a few blocks from the main business district but out of sight for most people. I had to work hard to find an angle that didn't show the piles of trash built up around it.
The second is in an area that used to be rural but now has some nice neighborhoods within a few blocks. The road is mostly traveled by residents of those neighborhoods who need to get to the highway about a mile north of the bridge and don't want to have to drive an extra five miles on nicer roads to get to the same place. Unlike the other bridge the area around this one is kept clean but as you can see the bridge and roadway have become popular for kids with spray paint. This bridge has a very low clearance and when I was a kid it had "Wolf Creek Pass" painted on both sides. The red on the right side of the second bridge is safety netting that has been pulled down. There is a massive hole there and traffic can only pass through the lane on the left.

I apologize for posting outside of the given time period. I took these on Saturday afternoon and wound up being admitted to the hospital before I could get them out of the camera.

Was looking through my files for another image and stumbled across this covered bridge in Ashtabula County, Ohio. The bridge was built in the 1890s and was not that unusual looking but the interior was a huge arch which is very eye-catching

This is the Stillwater Lift Bridge, which spans the St. Croix river in Stillwater, MN. It used to be open to traffic, which caused great problems in downtown Stillwater over the years - it's now pedestrianized, which is a huge improvement. This was taken last July.
