They knew how to build things in those days - mind you some people are pretty good at their 'art' these days too...beautiful shot John...

Great shooting angle and I'm glad the weather cooperated to give you a beautiful background backdrop for this imposing bridge!

An impressive sight. Great clarity in the image - even the rivets are visible. Lovely background with this cloud formation.
