Clear and Cold Above the River


It's Skywatch Friday again, and the skies were clear with cold temperatures the day I took this photo of the railroad bridge across the Alabama River.

The bridge is located just upriver from the Edmund Pettus Bridge, which carries vehicles across from downtown. I got this shot from the walkway at Diego's Mexican Restaurant...more about the restaurant later.

Alicesg: Yes, this bridge is still in use. I have another photo posted some time ago that shows a train traveling across the bridge. Thanks!

You always have nice photos of Selma. Some day I need to tour Selma. I have never been there.

It seems as if the sky is more clear when it's colder.

This is very nice...I love photos of bridges...but I don't like to drive across them!

Rail trestles always make good camera fodder don't they?

Lovely blue sky. The bridge cuts through the photo and makes a great focal point :)

This is so serene and lovely, and that bridge really makes the image within the sky.

How you conveyed it in your photo, I have no idea but it does look cold!
