Artist's Comments

A hundred years ago, the Bahia Honda Channel was bridged to extend Flagler's railroad to Key West. After being decimated by the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, the remaining bridges were converted for highway use. However, as US 1 became more crowded, the new highway was rerouted via new bridges with wider lanes. While many of the old bridges were converted into fishing piers and continue to be maintained for pedestrian use, some, like the Old Bahia Honda Bridge, were stripped down and left to crumble into the sea. While I could have easily removed the shadow cast my my legs I decided against it; I want it to still echo of a human presence. That, and there was no one around to model for me at the time ;)

This is really nice, the colors are wondeful.

Just one thing though, I can see your shadow on the bridge, you could remove that with some photoshoping

I love the perspective here, really beautiful the way it keeps going into nothing and as I look more closely at it, I realize the bridge is more than a footlength away. Great write up too, I love to hear about the history of what I'm looking at, not many people stop and take the time to do that. Well done!

Great shot!. I love the colors, the cooler water recedes where as that warm concrete comes forward. Its really semetrical, but broken. The blue green, and the orange are almost complementary.
