This week’s Monochrome Madness is a free week; I’ve decided to focus on Bridges/Trestles over Rivers. They are views from the Piedmont Medical Center Trail by the Catawba River in Rock in South Carolina and from the Goat Island Park and Greenway by the South Fork Catawba River in Cramerton, North Carolina.
Let’s first take a look at Bridges and/or Trestles over the Catawba River …
This is the historic Southern Railway Trestle Bridge over the Catawba River as seen from the Piedmont Medical Center Trail. It was taken near the beginning of the trail. I attempted to give a black and white image an infrared effect through Google photo editing.
Another image of the Southern Railway Trestle from further up the trail. In this image you can see a bit of water movement within the Catawba River under the Trestle.
The Nation Ford Trestle taken near the Catawba River Trailhead looking northward. The Nation Ford Trestle over the Catawba River was originally built in 1852 using local granite pillars (stone piers/columns). These stone pillars survived being burned by Union troops during the Civil War in 1865. They were reused to reconstruct the rail span. They later faced catastrophic damage or were washed away during the Great Flood of July 1916. Then again the Trestle was rebuilt on the original stone foundation pillars and is still standing and in operation today.
Now to have a glimpse at Bridges over the South Fork Catawba River from Goat Island Park and Greenway.
This is the main bridge at the entrance to Goat Island Park and Greenway. This the first bridge you use to cross over the South Fork Catawba River.
This is one of the foot bridges Coleman and I hike under when we are hiking on the dirt (disc golf course) trail.
Once again we are at the bridge near the entrance as we are fixing to leave the Greenway. A slightly different angle, by similar view.
