Railroad Bridge over the Schuylkill River to Manayunk

Manayunk

Too dilapidated for trains, the bridge stands to carry the electric poles and as the symbol of the Manayunk section of Philadelphia.
Parts of the bridge over land were renovated in 2000, but most of it is still a mess.
Built by the Pennsylvania Railroad circa 1917.

Alternatively, you could do this in b & w and eliminate the purple fringing problem.

Three great posts Max with great examples of dilapidation. This could be my favorite if weren't for those poles and rails against that bright sky pushing your poor little camera beyond its limits (purple chromatic abberations). I haven't used them myself, but some editing programs have filters for changing the purple and then maybe a little shadow burn would define deatil? Regardless; an impressive image.
