I took this picture because this bridge is considered a landmark of the town in which it stands. In fact, it is depicted on some of the city documents. The bridge is part of a park at one end of the city, and nearby is a dam with historical signficance, while in another part of the park is a small railroad museum. I meant for the picture to make the bridge look as inviting to the viewer as it did to me, snowy surface not withstanding. Many times I crossed that bridge to check out a city fair, the trails on the other side of the water, or the catch of several people fishing in the river. Now that I look at the composition I realize that the horizon is at about the halfway point in the frame, but I believe that this is remedied by the dynamic angle of the bridge itself. A look at the sky and water tell me that I likely used a polarizing filter, but did not record the fact.
