The North Railing This bridge appears to be only half a bridge. There is a railing and arch on the north side of the street, but there is no matching railing on the south side. In fact, the culvert appears to disappear under a school that is across the street. Photo taken by J.R. Manning in October 2007 |

Looking south from the rail The street has apparently been widened, a parking lot is directly across from the railing, but the culvert travels in a southwesterly direction, toward a school, shown on the right. Photo taken by J.R. Manning in October 2007 |

Howdy JR, I like all your bridge photos but I have to ask. What is up with the pink shading ? Are you shooting through a filter, using photo manipulation, or is it a camera aberration ? I am not trying to be critical ,it doesn't affect the quality of the photos. I am just curious. Thanks, and keep all the great bridge pics coming.
