Copper Creek Trestles
These two trestles are located in the neighboring Scott County, Va. The one on the left was built in 1890, while the taller one (167 ft.) on the right was built in 1908. Both of these span the mouth of Copper Creek that empties into the Clinch River just to the left of the structures. Both are still in use. When I arrived this morning, the fog prevented me from getting the scenic shots of the trestles until later in the morning. I decided to try to get both of them disappearing into the mist, so I climbed the steep bank to the top of the shorter one and rested my camera against the "No Trespassing" sign. Although I liked the color photo, I decided it would make a nice b& w. Of the images I made today, this one is,by far, my favorite.
