Aha! Built to collapse so contractors have more work. There is method in their madness .. don't you think (-: You could do a pictorial documentary on this bridge, go back every month or so and take a picture! Submit it as a collage to your local newspaper .. they'll love you for this exposé! Love the angle you took this at, makes the bridge feel so much more secure, LOL!! Great shot of the fog, too.

oh, a very fine shot indeed, the blue tones and the fog make this seem all the more loss-filled, with the bridge falling apart and leaving this world eventually...Your tilt is right for the shot, the crevices in the concrete speak quietly and in sinister fashion through the dark hues, and the city in the background is ghostlike. A capture of a mood, feels very loss-ful, and it has a beauty all its own. Almost sweeping too, even though it's just a patch of road...
