Bridge with a View_8249 - Explore

            An abandoned old trestle bridge in Northwest Texas. I was visiting Fort Griffin State Historical area for a few days. This bridge is in an area adjacent to the official park area, down a gravel road. This is literally the dead end of the road. There are warning signs and plenty of room to turn around. There are barricades in front of the bridge. There's no telling how many years it's been sitting here unused. Of course there'a a main state highway that crosses the river now.
 
I had walked in front of the concrete barricade and was standing on the first few trestle planks but I didn't venture onto the bridge far enough to the point that it left the land bank. While it's obvious the bridge could no longer support the weight of vehicles, it most likely wouldn't be a problem for a person. But I'm a senior citizen now, out traveling alone so I didn't want to take any chances of anything breaking if I ventured too far into the bridge.
 
Someone had told me of the location of this bridge and another one for photo ops. I created both a color and b&w version. I like them both. It's hard to choose. I like the strong elements in the b&w. Here is the color version. 

I copied the description for use in both versions.
