This view is facing the fairgrounds. The red roof that can be seen on the far side of the river is one of the largest buildings in the fairgrounds. About mid-frame is what is left of the old bridge pylon that was left when the bridge was rebuilt a decade or two ago.
The new bridge is in really good shape and should last for some time to come. The old bridge was in bad shape and it was quite a bit lower, barely above flood stage. Our floods last year would have probably swept over the old bridge.
The water here is very reflective, though it isn’t a smooth surface. It actually looks calmer than it is. Incidentally, many swallows build their nests along this bridge and although there were 20-30 flying around, I don’t think I was able to catch any pictures of the swallows.
