Rockville Bridge over an icy Susquehanna River
The Rockville Bridge is the longest stone masonry arch railroad bridge ever built, with forty-eight 70-foot spans and a total length of 3,820 feet. It is made of 220,000 tons of stone that took 800 workers two years to build. The bridge crosses the Susquehanna River about 5 miles north of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The eastern end is in Rockville and the western end is just south of Marysville.
It was completed in 1902 by the Pennsylvania Railroad, it remains in use today by the Norfolk Southern Railway and Amtrak's Pennsylvanian route.
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and was designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1979.

They mysteriously rise from the Elbe as a reminder of the Hanseatic past of a city like Hamburg. These are the Blankenese Shipwrecks, and it's easy to spot them when you follow the Falkensteiner Ufer along the Elbe.
When we visited Hamburg in the Fall of 2021, these shipwrecks were the first thing we wanted to see. Mainly because it felt so surreal to know that there are ships in this state on the Elbe, not that far away from the city centre in Hamburg. And that you can easily spot them when you walk along the beach.
It's pretty easy to spot the Blankenese Shipwrecks in the low tide, but we imagine that at least one of them might disappear from sight when the water is a bit higher. So, if you want to see this bizarre sight, keep this in mind.
This is a 90sec. exposure and I used a large spotlight to illuminate the cars, then i light painted a circle around the base of each one to make it appear like a spotlight was shining down on each car. All the other photos I've seen of these cars were made during the day and the photos are flat looking with not much color.
I think of all the people that shelter on the uderground floors of the buildings all over our country at the time of air bombing or artilery shelling. I feel empty.
There is no human explanation why they have to be in all those empty building, why there is an exit that is very close but impossibe and how terrible to stay in that sensless darkness with the sky still there outside.
