Here is a bit about this bridge I copied from Wikipedia:
Wilson's Bridge is a bridge near Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland, United States. It originally carried the Hagerstown and Conococheague Turnpike, the National Pike, across the Conococheague Creek seven miles west of Hagerstown. The five-arched structure, the longest of the county's stone bridges, is 210 feet in length and is constructed of coursed local limestone. The bridge was erected in 1819 by Silas Harry, who had built similar bridges in Pennsylvania.

Great use of sepia. It is perfect for you subject. I think this perspective is great. As usual, I would probably crop the photo from the left--a lot of that part of the photograph is not very interesting to me.
Really good job.
This is wonderful --- it could be a moment from the 1800s. I like the image as you have it here, with the tree branches and sunlit leaves hanging down on the left. The way the light is hitting those cone-shaped supports really shows their shape. Great composition and post processing!
Cool bridge. Nice vantage point, did you have to lower yourself down on a rope? The stone on the bridge adds great texture. Good job.
Thanks Patrick, Cindi and Larry!
This was a nice find on the trip. This is one of those old bridges you see on a road next to the main road you are traveling on. This old bridge just happened to be very old and full of character. I took several sets of shots from different vantage points on the bank and this was my favorite because I was able to exclude all modern buildings from the background.
Cheers!
