The "Upside-Down" bridge in Lockport, NY under a full moon.
The Upside-Down bridge was rumored to have been built this way in order to limit the height of the barges on the Erie canal. This is only a rumor as there are far lower bridges downstream.
The real reason is far less interesting, but much more sensible. Bridge truss-work is built above the traffic - in this case the railroad - only when there's not enough room underneath the bridge to do it this way. Building it above means that the bridge has to be wider to accomodate both the traffic AND the truss-work. That means more material and higher building costs. Here the clearance from the water to the railroad bed was far enough to allow the railroad to save some money by building a narrower bridge with the truss-work beneath, with plenty of room to spare for canal traffic.
I am a photographer located in Western New York with 20 years experience. I got my start with my Grandfather's Minolta x-700 while at Boston University working in B&W film. Hours in the darkroom have been replaced with hours behind the computer screen after I made the switch to digital about ten years ago. This has given me the ability to more accurately portray the scene as I remember it. I predominately shoot nature, landscape and urban/cityscape photography, freezing a moment in time that will never happen again. Taking the time to capture these moments is one of the great pleasures in my life. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed creating them. Outside of photography I rise my two daughters, Madeleine & Nicole...
