Bridge Over Schuylkill

Everytime I paddle the Schuykill I admire these bridges. This is a classic picture!

Plowdenesque. Is it part of a series?

"Is it part of a series?"

Hmm - I wasn't thinking of it that way, but a look back over my return to B&W film over the last two or three years does show a decided interest in "Infrastructure." I certainly took others at the same time as the one shown. I thought it was one of the best film shots from Saturday (and suffered least from zero shadow detail -- one of my least impressive recent outings, exposure-wise).

Warning -- the following galleries may also contain electrocuted bits ....

Other shots from Phoenixville
An even more dramatic structure DL&W Cutoff Viaduct
A few shots of Tunkhannock Viaduct here WPPD 2007 possibly still the largest reinforced concrete railroad structure in the world.
