jwm, Nice image. Like the highlight of the water.Draws your eye to the bridge.
I was curious about the bridge and when it was built in 1875, it only cost $590.
A-17 • The Israel Creek Bridge | 1875
South of Boonsboro, off Route 67 on Valley Road, off Garrett’s Mill Road
The Commissioners of Washington County inspected and accepted this handsome one-arch bridge over Israel Creek in April of 1875, authorizing payment of $590.00 to its builder, John Martin. Built toward the close of our region’s remarkable era of stone bridge-building, it is well worth a visit. Parking is convenient and it is easy to approach on foot. Today a beautiful and quiet rural neighborhood, this part of scenic Israel Creek was the site of a busy mill. A short distance upstream the original miller’s house still stands, a beautifully restored historic home.
Thanks for sharing
You have taken something that at first glance seems mundane as to lighting and subject and turned it into something quite beautiful. Congrats!
That’s very nice, but just a little dark for me. Nice photo, though--don’t misunderstand.
