Description
The Third Avenue Bridge (originally known as the St. Anthony Falls Bridge). This is a landmark structure in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It carries road traffic across the Mississippi River and right over the upper fringes of Saint Anthony Falls. The multi-arched bridge meets with Third Avenue in downtown Minneapolis at its south end, but curves as it crosses the river, and connects with Central Avenue on its north end. The shallow curve in the bridge was built to avoid fractures in the limestone bedrock that supports the bridge piers.
Much of the design work was done by Minneapolis city engineer Frederick W. Cappelen, who was responsible for a number of other local bridges and structures. Beyond the bridge, you see a high industrial area set the mood for my approach to this shot.

What an outstanding picture Bill. At first, I wasn't sure about the symmetry of the arches but the smokestacks and their effluent add just the right amount of "off balance" to make this image really click. Your tone, mood, lighting and processing are all perfect. voted, favorite, promoted as Daily Favorite in the CFC group
