Okay a play shot here. This was during a walk with my baby sister who really is not a baby anymore.
******************************************************

The Lethbridge Viaduct, commonly known as the High
Level Bridge, was constructed between 1907–1909 at Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada at a cost of $1,334,525.

This massive steel trestle over the Oldman River was designed by the Canadian Pacific Railway's bridge department in Montreal. The field work was directed by CPR's Assistant Chief Engineer J. E. Schwitzer. The steel work was manufactured by the Canadian Bridge Company of Walkerville, Ontario. A 100 man gang worked on the erection of the steel. Although there were some initial problems with settlement, the bridge has proved to be an enduring engineering work and is still in use today.

This bridge is the largest railway structure in Canada.[citation needed] It was built as part of a major diversion of the Crowsnest Pass route between Lethbridge and Fort Macleod. The river crossing was previously over a wooden trestle measuring 894 m (2,933 ft) long and 20 m (66 ft) high; an impressive structure in its own right.

Interesting and unusual POV, Christan.
Great colors and excellent sharpness.
I also like the almost perfect symmetry.
Very good work, my friend. Congratulations!

Saudações,
Bruno

Hi Christan,
Excellent artistic picture, perfect POV! The contrast between the structure of the bridge and the sky is great. Wonderful posting Christan.

hi christan

This is artistic.

The steel frame plays well with the symmetry [almost] and blue sky. I think you did well in providing sharpness on the steel structure when you really need to place the focus spot on it, not easy to do sometimes.

Nice work!
