This print, framed in a natural barn wood frame with only a light antique white stained finish created by the photographer, is truly unique and one-of-a-kind. An additional image shows the framed print hung on a wall with other furniture, to give a sense of size and scale of the finished artwork. Available also as a print only without frame, in three optional sizes and materials.
The old Owsley Bridge in Hagerman Idaho has become one of my favorite places to photograph. The bridge has been closed to traffic for several years and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was constructed in 1921 and is one of only a few bridges built in this style. The massive iron trusses make one feel quite small and insignificant, and the faded colors give it character. I had heard about this location through the Magic Valley Camera Club, who organized an outing here. I couldn’t attend that evening, but I was intrigued by the photos I saw of the location and resolved to go visit. I arrived well before sunrise and shot several dozen images of sunrise, and of the falls area below the bridge. On my way back, I noticed that the light was falling beautifully on the bridge even though it was now fully light at 8:30am. I spent a few minutes finding the right angle to get the perspective that I was looking for and got a few great photos before the light got harsh. This image takes me back to memories of an old bridge near my childhood home. It only spanned a canal, but I have many great memories of riding in the back of a pickup truck as we crossed the bridge, sometimes at speeds faster than really necessary!
