Old Owsley Bridge Swing | Southern Idaho Landscape Fine Art Print
This 12×18 metal print is available 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 the faded colors give it so much character. I learned about this location when the Magic Valley Camera Club scheduled a trip to the area for a photography outing. I was unable to attend, but I was curious about the location and when I saw some of the photos that were posted after the trip, I asked a little more about how to get there. One October weekend I decided to drive out to find it, and I was lucky enough to witness one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen across the river. I spent an hour or more photographing the colors before the sun rose over the horizon, and at the peak of the show, I walked across the bridge to get some shots from the deck. While walking, I noticed a swing that had been attached to the bridge frame that intrigued me. I’m not a fan of heights, so swinging from that height was of no interest to me, but the swing certainly had a story to tell!
