Bridge Over Troubled Waters

Where the fire did not reach ...

Up on the old coast road (see previous post) I found myself in a small valley lined with undamaged redwoods. I came upon a reminder of my Army days when I stumbled across this Bailey bridge. I have built more than a few of these. They were the creation of a brilliant Britisih Army engineer and can be found all over the worls including the famous Allenby Bridge over the Jordan River in Israel.

This image is not all I would like. The blown out section in the middle confounded me. So, what the heck, lemonade from a lemon. I half toned the image to give it a surreal feel.

Do drop by my new web site, I'm pathetically proud of it.
