This HDRi was shot in historic Rock Creek Park in Albemarle, North Carolina. The myserious gated bridge once led to an abandoned barn where signs of witchcraft rites and small animal sacrific. Being firmly in the bible belt, these findings were taken seriously and the locals insisted that the barn be demolish and the bridge access to the old misued area of the park be cutoff to prevent witches (most likely bored kids) from attempting to resume their unholy activites. For what it's worth, I grew up in this town until age 20 and this was far, far from the craziest thing to have happened there.
