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. http://montereyjohnphotography.com/

You can build these, John!!!! WOW. I'm really impressed. You did a good job with this and I'm just glad to see that the fire did not touch it!

Fine result. It does have a surreal feel to it. I often have to try to make lemons from lemonade.
So is the bridge permanent?
