It's just one of many of Chicago's many moveable bridges. They are amazing feats of 19th and early 20th century engineering.

That one will not move again and it's too big to remove, when you get up close it is frightening. I have friends who tagged it and made love long ago.

My favorite way to see Chicago bridges is on the Water Taxi $10 all day all over.

OK, it's from a found 5x7 glass plate, photographer and camera unknown, but it shows what went into building some of the bridges now photographed. This one is dated 1901 in the negative and is the Viaur railroad bridge under construction. 383 feet high and spanning 721 feet and wouldn't OSHA have had fun there! Check out the guy riding the girder up. PS How do you get the image to come up full size??

Really nice

Question - does the choice of Ortho film add anything - in your opinion ?

Thank you Martin,
Yes I have the impressing to have more tonality then my usual Ilford Delta. No need for example a Yellow filter for contrast.
Last week I have create some quick filters in Lightroom for film stock, and I must say the look of Ortho is for me mutch better dan Delta.

Take a look at these images:

Taken about 1km of each other, the same hour, and the same sun direction.
