I've always found this bridge to be especially interesting. This is the new Eagle River bridge -- new in a relative sense, because it was built in 1991. But as you can see: it's wooden! And not just any wood, but beautiful, darkly stained wood, built with a bit of an artistic design as well. I took this photo from the old bridge, which was an absolutely standard and boring steel and cement construction. The old bridge is still there, but only for pedestrian traffic -- to enjoy the lovely new ridge, and also the eagle river falls nearby.
Kyle and I headed out a couple weekends ago to check up on some of our favorite waterfalls up in the Keweenaw. The Eagle River falls were one of them (although they were mostly frozen still). We also checked out a few others, whose photos will be featured soon. Stay tuned!

I love the bridge, and I look forward to seeing the waterfalls.........:)
Great shot!!! I love the angle. It's such a hard bridge to shoot since the old bridge is so close.
The ice in the river really brightens the whole picture up.
That's a great image.
I really enjoyed this frame, thanks for sharing :)
@LisaNewton: Thanks! Coming up soon...
@Jay: Yeah, isn't it a pain? One summer, I put on waders and walked straight up the river just to get some good shots of the bridge from below. They didn't turn out, naturally.
@Ilan: Thanks! :)
Of course it didn't turn out after all that work. That's the way things work for me too. :)
Small suggestion. Have you tried to photoshop out the grafitti on the base of the bridge?
Jay -- based on your comment, and Glen (in a different post), I tweaked the photo and updated it. I cloned out the graffiti, and also burned the snow a bit to tone it down. The new one is in the post now.
This is a great photo! I didn't mind it with the graffiti, either. The view is interesting with the wood bridge overhead. JC
