Day 109 - Live Rust

The walking bridge in Fredericton spans the mighty St. John River and provides hundreds of people (and dogs) on foot and on bikes (the people, not the dogs) a scenic way to move back and forth between the city's north and south sides.

Renovated from an old railway bridge, this rusted steel structure is one of the first glimpses a visitor gets of Fredericton on the way in from the airport. It is also one of the most photographed features of the city.

I'm glad I was able to capture it on a warm, sunny spring day before the bushes and trees are in leaf. I like mixture of earth tones in this photograph and the way the wild shapes of the branches complement the rigid lines of the bridge.
