About the Image(s)

This old single-lane bridge spanning the Farmington River was once the only connection between the thriving mill towns of Collinsville and Torrington in Connecticut. Over the years, as automobiles replaced horse-drawn buggies, the bridge was replaced by larger spans; in fell into disrepair as time and the elements took their toll. More recently, the mill towns became hubs for artists and start-up businesses and a project was started to restore the old bridge. Today it remains tucked away across a bend in the river and is hard to find. This photo was taken from the only accessible vantage point; the background Autumn foliage has been largely muted this year throughout much of New England. The only post-processing I did was to clone out a few overlapping tree limbs from the foreground. Unfortunately the original is not available.
