I grew up within walking distance of this bridge. In the summer we would go swimming exactly where the water is shown here. People today still swim here, beautiful place

Thanks Mary for your comments. The area is a beautiful country setting. It must have been a pleasure growing up there! Jack

This is a great view of this old bridge. It is a much different perspective than the other photographs in the group of Humpback Bridge. I love the tone with the silver bridge against the darkened sky.

Thank you Charles, it is nice to hear your comments, this is one of my favorite Ohio CB and one of my favorite artistic renditions of it. It is also one I included in my book.
