A Bridge Too Far
On our trip to Queensland for Christmas I was fortunate enough to be able to stop by the side of the road and capture the image of a bridge that's life is almost at an end. The bridge is well beyond use and repair. Its timbers slowly rotting and there was evidence of flood debris in its beams. Whilst many things washed away during th
e January 2011 floods somehow this remarkable old bridge stood firm. During its life it must have withstood numerous flood events. Time not floods will slowly lead to its demise and only photographs will remember its style and brilliance. Rails once firm and confident are twisted and warped with age. Wonder if a traveller will drive by in years to come and look at the piers and try to imagine what was once standing on the columns of brick.
