Alden Bridge


	Alden Bridge I had seen t-shirts, ball caps even paintings of this bridge after moving to The Woodlands but never could find it. After a couple years of not bumping into it I got serious about finding the bridge. Funny thing I had been driving over it all that time but never recognized it as a bridge because there was no elevation change and very little water plus I guess I was always in a hurry to get home before and after work. Once found I used it as the subject for a lesson in my BetterPhoto Photoshop for Photographers class that Jim was teaching. Here is an updated version using Topaz Adjust and a major modification. I'll include another version in the comments without the modification. Murry Grigsby

Great place you almost didn't find! Funny how that happens, you drive past/over/around stuff all the time and never notice it..then when you do, you wonder where the heck that came from!

Had a similar experience with a stone bridge everyone talked about. Once I found it, had a great time going down to shot. Well done, congrats.
