My daughter had to do an artistic picture demonstrating archetypes of a fairy tale/fable of her choice. We live in Northern KY and it was very hard to find an older looking bridge that we could actually walk onto and take pictures without fear of being ran over. This was the perfect setting. Thanks, Bridgehunter for this site!
