Description
While we were in Chelan for the wedding, we took some time to go out sightseeing.
From what I could find, this bridge was built in 1922. I don't know when it was abandoned, but the main road takes a different route today.
Several layers of postwork, including Nik and Topaz.

A beautiful vista, Tara!
Wonderful energy in this sharp bucolic image. Very nice.
Love the golden light that suffuses this landscape. Is that the ghost of a streamlined train crossing the bridge?
I love the dreamy look you gave this. Quite beautiful.
Beautiful and wild image, Tara! How did you enjoy your stay at Rod and Jo? I know that he had some plans for you besides working in his dungeon..... ;-}
Wonderful capture!
Your post work gives this a certain other worldly feeling as thought the bridge doesn’t belong. It made me think of a short story by Ray Bradbury titled “A Sound of Thunder”.

In the story a travel company has invented a device that can take customers on a trip back in time. The device generates a ‘bridge’ that customers walk on so as not to disturb anything. And what happens when someone breaks the rules.
This bridge looks out of place.
Amazing capture and post work Andrea. God bless.
A truly beautiful capture !!
Oh, this is a special, and surprising appearance. Everything I admire here is full of life. The foreground waving, back and forth in the gentle wind. The background so beautifully drawn, the trees, the rolling hills. And the little stream down there, winding along the stones; in short, a fascinating photo, dear Tara.
Strange and beautiful. It reminds me of the backgrounds we see in the best model railway set-ups
Very beautiful. In my head, I see an old freight train passing the bridge and a toooooo tooo!!
I like your postwork very much Tara. Well done.
A lovely shot Tara.
Some unusual patterns in this one.
I like your postwork. Elegant bridge.
Beautiful warm light in this. I replied to your mail? I hope you received it! :)
great view and lighting in this, wonderful colors and composition of picture!
yeah, as Mark says, the bridge does seem out of place, but you made a whooshing rushing visual maelstrom out of this sight, and a lot of things seem out of place, and yet you whooshed them altogether in a big cauldron of energies and falling waves. Your filtering brought out a mad painter's paintbrush feeling; and, then again, a sense of a huge windstorm that hit this landscape and left the front portion in shambles. You have positively oil-stroke-strokes in the right bottom quarter---plants, I don't know, but they feel like oil painting. I love it! And the background calms down with gorgeous deep beiges and ambers and pale oranges, and trees like little people (or sheep). And a blown out sky---great contrast. A touch of Van Gogh, a big whooshing image, and it's truly beautiful.
