Second Bridge

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.
