stormdogFrom my trip down to Chicago yesterday with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
posicat and Devin, a friend of my brother's.
This is looking north along the east side of the Canal Street railroad bridge, with another Chicago landmark in the background.
What do you think? Do you like the black and white? Maybe I should have left it color? Grayscale seems to suit such an industrial structure, of such venerability.
When it was completed in 1915, this bridge had the heaviest vertically lifted movable span in the country. As the couple of railroad personnel said when we bumped into them while I was taking pictures and generally gaping, this bridge is the only one of its kind in Chicago. It takes a lot of maintenance and work to keep it up.

I haven't been on LJ or online much since Wednesday. I had Thursday and Friday off, and my weekend's been happily full, despite the odd support call or two. Today, we're heading out to my grandparents' house for the extended family gathering. I'm bringing my portable hard drive to show off all my new pictures from the last several months. Whee!
