I thought graffitti might be the appropriate paint job for Enochs Knob Road Bridge.....alas that one is not a success.

Re-discovered this bridge today, on a rainy day (YES!! RAINY in ARIZONA!!!) Sunday morning drive.

The bridge was (very) colorful.... as if its only purpose now is as a canvas for ill mannered juvinile gangsters. But the history of this bridge, it still could be felt... beneith all the tagging.

I couldnt help but to let my imagination take me back in time....to when the bridge was constructed. To the money, the plans, drafts, and hard work that men put into building this structure.
