Description

This is the old bridge over the Barrington River at Gloucester. It is about to be demolished with a new cement bridge to replace it! So much for progress.
I guess this would be my last chance to photograph it, as the materials for the new bridge were already starting to arrive for the building project


Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/320 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 125, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: NIKON D90
