This is a beautiful black & white, Linda! What a find this old (rickety!) trestle is ...& so much natural texture showing itself in the drama of monochrome. Interesting how the different wooden structures correlate with one another - a Before & After : the origins of the bridge :))

Thanks for your lovely message Connie. I do see your observation of the before and after - the timber of the bridge still resembles the trees that it came from
