Here’s an image of the Sarnia Road bridge that I posted a detail image of the wires a couple of days ago. This historic bridge – that had been at this location for 102 years – was demolished a few days after I took this shot. Its one lane feature slowed people down a bit and made them be more courteous. Although a grey day when I shot this, I thought I should show you what the whole structure looked like before ‘progress’ decided it was obsolete.

Progress…. necessary? 😉
who knows… they could have chosen other options such as adding a second bridge but it would not be seamless and modern looking and many people thought the bridge was just old junk…. me, I’m a history lover, so I never viewed it like that.
I love the angles in this shot, the way the railroad tracks lead you into the bridge crossing the top.
thanks – yes, train tracks, well any kind of tracks, work well for that. 🙂
Beautiful image capturing what once was
thanks Bonnie. perhaps it will be reassembled one day as a foot bridge.
Speed, the fast pace enforced upon people brings unforeseen consequences – unforeseen by the blind, that is. Courtesy IS become obsolete…….:-(
Will you compile subjects such as this into a book one day Sheila?
no vision is true. I don’t know about a book… I guess if I discover enough of these I could put together something but I hope I will not.
Great composition. Thanks for documenting history. 🙂
