The Morse Mill Bridge

MMDT #16 photo challenge inspired by texture. We were to choose a location of our choice and capture textures. I wanted to do this assignment at Elephant Rock or the Sandy Creek Covered Bridge. There wasn't time to go to Elephant Rock and the bridge was closed for construction. So I chose a park approximately 3 miles from my house. It has an old iron bridge that is only open to foot traffic.  Years ago is was a popular swimming hole. I like this area because it is quiet and just neat!

Used oregano and periwinkle MM grid paper from www.snapncrop.com

This assignment turned out to be three pages long. However, I haven't figured out how to post page three it is more than 5mb? Will work on that tomorrow. Too tired to think any longer.

Page one below:

 The bottom page photos are all the same log. Middle photos are taken of the  aging roadway.

 The above picture was taken from a hole in the girders of the bridge. Same view as the photo above it on page one.

 Page two below:

 The above photos were photos of the reflections on the water.

Page three below: sorry it took so long...figured out how to make less than 5mb.
