Bridge Detour.

Description

This quaint old bridge is now closed to all traffic, and my guess is that it will be replaced with a concrete structure. The bridge is on tourist route 5, between Wellington and the city of Orange, and the creek runs into the Bell River.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/400 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 250, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: NIKON D90

Great capture, John. Simple construction and it worked well for years. It will be a shame to see it replaced with a concrete structure. #11434815
