Last weekend we spent a little time at one of our local parks - Rock Island Swing Bridge. The double-decker swing bridge was originally built in 1894 and served both the railway and automobile traffic - automobiles still used it to cross the Missippippi until 1999.
Six years ago half of the bridge collapsed. Instead of tearing down the rest of the bridge, the city used parts of the old bridge to create a very long pier - a beautiful place to see the river and watch boats travel up and down the waterway.
I'm changing it up a bit by taking candid shots of people (something that I rarely do). As well as a few images of the usual graffiti and some rusty bits (because I can't resist snapping pictures of tarnish and rusty things <3 ).

Sometimes it feels good to step out of my comfort zone :)
