The Midwest has lots of streams and rivers, and so it also has lots of bridges. Last year I posted a photo of an old, abandoned bridge that’s still across the Mackinaw River. Today’s photo shows the Murray Baker Bridge which is where I-74 crosses the Illinois River between East Peoria and Peoria. The photo was taken looking west just a few minutes before sunset, which created a lot of drama in the clouds.
It’s unusual for me to post a black and white photo, especially one at sunset. But in this particular evening, the clouds were dramatic, but the colors weren’t The sky mostly had a yellowish glow, and I just didn’t find the colors very attractive. And, if the color doesn’t add something to the image, then it shouldn’t be there.
