Bollman Iron Truss Bridge II

Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 6 June 2007 in Transportation and Portfolio.

It was pouring rain that day and I am sure the cars passing by thought I was a bit nutty, umbrella in one hand and camera in the other...I think it was worth it ; )

I have uploaded some of my favorite images to redbubble for sale http://www.redbubble.com/people/jenseye
Please go check it out and if there is something you like in my portfolioi here on Am3 that isn't posted on redbubble please let me know and I can upload for purchase. Thank you!

SPunkt from -, Germany

It was! It is still a wonderful bridge! :D
But it seems a bit tight on the right. I am trying to imagine it with less walkway or in another perspective (meaning the camera nearer to the red). Uh, I am not good at explaining. :/

@SPunkt: Thanks for the idea...if I get back over I'll have to try a few more shots with that in mind : )

@Laurie: Pretty cool color for a bridge

Erik Tjallinks from Netherlands

Tks for your comment on my tulips, I wanted to post it earlier (tulip time is over now) but forgot, I love the picture also. Yours of today is almost abstract, the painted iron is like a statement between the soft green, very good!

6 Jun 2007 8:22pm

@Erik Tjallinks: Thank you for posting them...they were beautiful!
I am just so glad they have restored and maintained the bridge so I could share it with all of you.

Sash from Adelaide, Australia

Interesting angle/perspective, especially looking down the warping handrail (?).

Out of curiosity, did you take a photo with only the trees in the background? If so, I'll be back as I reckon it would be a stunning combination of colours with the whole man vs nature paradigm to boot. :)

7 Jun 2007 3:51am

@Sash: Interesting idea...I will have to look through my collection and see...I took so many. Thanks for the idea.
