Description
The Oregon Trunk Railway Bridge, built in 1911, was the first structure to span the Crooked River Gorge.
The bridge is 460 feet long. Its abutments are 320 feet above the river, making it the sixth highest railway bridge in the United States.
Truthfully, I was more interested in its shadow, but I know some of you crave data.
12:11 in the afternoon, btw. :P

Nice shadow and info on this bridge, love old bridges and their shadows are nice too :-)..
Magical! I'm of the mind that shadows, like reflections, belong to another world and that in some--strange--way, we are the shadow world: an un-detailed representation of the real thing, looming between it and the surface upon which we are cast. Okay, only a part of me thinks that way, and I suspect that's the part of me that has found the way to Agara, where things are...well...as they are in Agara. And now that I've gone off on that particular tangent, I'll come back to this reality and say that this is a brilliant and nicely moody shot. There are so many times in life when the shadow of a thing is as rich in evocative detail as the thing itself--if that wasn't the case, we wouldn't have an interest in art, after all. This is brilliant and--most definitely--one of my favorites!
super idea
Great shadow I can see why you like it.
Interesting shot! I also find it interesting that so many wires are spanning that distance without any sort of spacing devices to keep them apart from each other in the wind.
Sharp, bright contrast...always jumps right out at me and grabs my attention. This bridge reminds me of an old erector set I had as a boy. Well done...having been in place for 100 years, it looks like it will be here for many more years to come.
HUMUNGOUS! A scary space but a super pic.
Very well seen and an excellent picture Tara.
Magnificent..structure and capture
Well the Shadow People need someplace to cross over. Striking image and a little ominous.

What a super space this is:) Great POV as well I got up a Christmas one for the rosity family Hope you drop by...... Great image Hugs Susan~
A wonderful bridge shot, Tara, and what a spectacular shadow! This is great! And I see something else, too....... I see 2-arm telephone poles, probably loaded with insulators! Woo-Hoo!!! (You didn't think I'd miss that did you?? LOL!!)
I like it too as many thoughts flow warm hugs, Linda Kaye
Well seen, as I would expect from you; and those teeny tiny telephone/power poles way back there give an idea of the hugeness of this bridge. Wonder where the shadow bridge takes you?
Excellent find and beautiful place !
Wow! I'm kind of struck speechless (a rare occurrence), I just want to keep saying WOW! This is...WOW! First of all (wow), the sheer size of the thing is pretty stunning (wow), and then there's the amazing height (wow)that is making my vertigo give me belly flops just sitting at my computer (wow), and we haven't even gotten to the amazingly fantastic shadow which IS pretty amazingly fantastic! What a great shot. WOW!!!
Excellent! Sometimes the shadows are the most important part of a picture.
