What for an impressive iron bridge- like a rainbow- its beauty the travellers by train and car can never see!

On the other we cannot see the four lanes- unimaginable! Bridges are always fascinating constructions - because of their useful connecting technical functions and their deeper symbolism"

This a fine view of this recording holding bridge. I like how you've framed the shot and used this huge rock as a foreground object. Well done.

This is a wonderful photo Harry! The New River itself is one of the most interesting rivers in the United States as well. It's name is really quite a misnomer as it is, I believe, the oldest river...at least in the eastern US.
