Bridge Connection Point Close-up (pinned) - Putnam County, Tennessee
Last week when I stopped to photograph the train bridge that crosses Interstate 40 in western Putnam County, I also took a couple of shots of the pinned connection that I was standing right next to. Being a Structural Engineer, this is just some of the coolest stuff anywhere!! This particular bridge connection is a pinned type that restricts movement in the vertical and the horizontal direction but allows rotation. This is a view from underneath the actual bridge where you can see the entire pinned connection. Cool, huh?!?
This was three bracketed photos that I combined in Photomatix to create this HDR. Further tweaks were made in PS.
By the way, did I mention that I love bridges...and this is the coolest thing ever?!?
