I'm not sure what these supports were ever used for, maybe part of the support for the bridge before the stone piling was built. I do think they make a nice picture though even if they currently have no other function. A guy's snow mobile caught fire on the bridge a few years ago and the these caught fire. I think it made them more interesting, not that as a general rule I would advocate photographers burning things to add interest to their photos. It wasn't my snow mobile. I don't even own a snow mobile, and I have an alibi.

Norm, I am not sure about the alibi, but the photo is great, love the texture and tone under the bridge, where the "trolls" live I would imagine.
