The Nicholson Bridge (aka Tunkhannock viaduct) is a concrete railroad bridge that crosses Tunkhannock Creek in the little village of Nicholson Pa. When it was finished in November of 1915, it was the largest concrete bridge in the world. It retained that distinction for 50 years. The bridge is 2375 feet long and 240 feet tall. It is a grand thing to see. I have tried to photograph it in early morning light with mist rising around it as well as mid day with puffy clouds in the background. I am anxiously waiting to be able to catch it with clouds and a pink/red sunset on it.

Hopefully next week, I will return to a posting about Wildlife!

Truly artful, both the bridge itself and your captures of it.
Much like the aquaducts of Roman times.
That makes a beautiful subject, Jim. I like both, but prefer the one with fog a bit. I am getting to like the photos with the dramatic atmosphere more and more.
