Today we go from one bridge to another.
Though not quite as aesthetically pleasing as the Brooklyn Bridge, this decrepit railroad crossing in Casco Bay proved an interesting subject for photographic exploration.
To get to the point at which this image was snapped, I had to carefully make my way, making sure to avoid rotten beams, out over the tranquil waters of Casco Bay roughly fifty yards away from solid ground. Let me tell you, between the fog limiting visibility to barely 20 feet and the constantly creaking, half-rotten wooden structure, the trip out was quite nerve racking.
As always, the treacherous journey turned out to be well worth it in the end. I couldn’t imagine a cooler way to present this dilapidated trestle than shrouded in a thick layer of fog.
I will be anxious to hear your thoughts on this one!
