This old bridge obviously dates back to 1939. It is on an abandoned section of mountain highway, and involves a hike to get to. The deck of the bridge, beneath the gravel, is wood. It is a little unnerving in that the bridge passes over a gorge with a stream far below... probably a hundred feet or so. And in a couple of places there are holes rotted in the decking.
Like the two other images I recently posted here, this one was also part of the recent batch of Ilford HP5 4" x 5", developed in 510 Pyro. I shot this on September 18th of 2022, at about 3:30 in the afternoon. I used my Ebony 4x5 view camera and a wide 75mm lens. A #25 Red filter was added to increase contrast, but sadly that blocked up some of the foreground shadows a little.
