Abandoned Bridge
Lens: SMC Pentax-DA 1:3.5-5.6 18-55mm AL WR Camera: K-7 Photo Location: Campaspe River - Kyneton

An abandoned road bridge over the Campaspe River near Kyneton, Central Victoria. Even the trees that have overgrown the bridge are dead and decaying. Altogether a desolate scene.

Nice shots! I like the tone you chose to accentuate the decay, and the planks draw the eye deep into the frame.

Great shots, I love to find things like this but seldom do, did you dare venture across?

The poor troll who worked under this bridge is now un-employed, what is the world coming too? It's a lto of work to build a bridge, it's kind of odd to see one abandoned. Thanks for posting.

Thanks, I crossed half way but my mind was on the likely presence of Bunyips.

Thanks Norm. We have Bunyips out this way. see WIKIPEDIA definition. BUNYIP: A large creature which lives in creeks and waterholes

I like it! And my biggest critic, my budding artist 10 year old daughter said "Whoah, that's a NICE picture!" What she said!
