Walk the rails under a high blue sky. Find the sag in the leaning fence, and step--carefully--over rusted wire. Follow a peninsula of blond grasses through a lake of loam, and come, at last, to the timber's edge where gray branches trace the sky and rose hips curl near purple canes.
Thanks! This is the bridge at Quincy, Illinois. It connects Illinois and Missouri (at a point about a half-hour drive away from Mark Twain's Hannibal).
Beautiful photograph! Which states does the bridge connect?
