Graffiti Train Bridge And Skyline, Austin, Texas by Randy von Liski Via Flickr: This view of downtown Austin shows the Graffiti Train Bridge across Lady Bird Lake. The plate girder-style bridge was constructed in 1936, but it sits on the stone piers of a previous bridge. Over the years, multiple layers of artwork and graffiti have been painted on its sides. The graffiti offers a unique and ever-changing perspective, adding a vibrant touch to a view showcasing Austin's ever-evolving skyline.

Using and H&Y Graduated Filter for a Sunset in Austin by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While on the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge with a view looking to the northwest to a sunset. My thinking in composing this image was to take advantage of the sunlight, and the way it reflected across the lake waters. There would also be a few other people on canoes and paddles to add to the recreation feel of this setting. The main purpose of capturing this image was to practice on using some new H&Y filters that I had recently purchased. I wanted to practice on minimizing lens artifacts as well as being able to take the filters and set them up without spending a lot of time. My thinking is that I wanted to be able to use this on national park travels. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

Ask A Genius 987: A Silty River, the Fraser River and Colorado
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: I was mentioning how the cemetery was a place I used to walk around, and you mentioned you go there with your poodle, the mental. There’s another part of my town with the Fraser River running through it. It’s a silty river, thick, cloudy, and muddy. People used to jump off the bridge all the time; I did when I was 16. I remember there were a couple of benches along the…

Hwy 128 Colorado River Scenic Byway, UT (No. 5)
Dewey Bridge
The Dewey Bridge, built in 1916, originally carried SR-128 across the Colorado River. The bridge featured an all wood deck measuring 502 feet (153 m) long, 10.2 feet (3.1 m) wide from support to support and 8 feet (2.4 m) wide from rail to rail. The bridge also consisted of two metal towers, a run of seven cables on each side of the bridge deck, and cable anchors.
In 1912 Grand County unsuccessfully petitioned the state to finance the construction of a bridge. In 1913, the ferry was out of service for a time because ice in the river struck the ferry, causing it to sink. This raised the level of urgency for a more reliable river crossing. Grand County held a municipal bond election, and was able to raise $25,000 (1913, approximately equivalent to $550,000 in 2008) to finance the construction of a bridge. The county employed the Midland Bridge Company of Kansas City, Missouri, to build it. Plans originally called for the bridge deck to be 12 feet (3.7 m) wide, but with the bonds not producing the expected yields, the deck width was scaled down to 8 feet (2.4 m). In 1916, the bridge was dedicated with a strength test by having approximately 70 attendees attempt to cross the bridge at once. The total was seven wagons, two people on horseback and several on foot. The bridge was designed to support the weight of six horses, three wagons, and 9,000 pounds (4,100 kg) of freight.
On the day of its completion, it was the second-longest suspension bridge west of the Mississippi River. The longest was the Cameron Suspension Bridge, also built by the Midland Bridge Company, who used the same base plans for both bridges. The Dewey Bridge remained the longest suspension bridge in Utah until it was destroyed by fire in 2008.
As part of a tribute, a reporter for The Daily Sentinel interviewed locals and visitors about their first experience crossing the bridge. Many recalled how nervous they felt as the bridge would creak and sway under load. One stated, "A lot of people lost a lot of mirrors on that bridge". Drivers with wide vehicles had to fold in their side mirrors to safely cross, as the bridge deck was only 8 feet (2.4 m) wide.
