Clements Bridge circa 1886
Here is one from the outing last weekend. I found a website showing pics taken in 1886 and they all had a definite yellow cast, so I tried to imitate this somewhat.

I really like this Rob. It hadn't occurred to me to convert to a "sepia" type tone but it sure works well here. I'm glad that you and Ken showed me this bridge. Now I know where two of them are and they are both right off 50 west of Cottonwood Falls.

Wow Rob, I really like this treament. I was looking at my shots and this side looked almost to bright, but this gives me more hope.

Rob, I think you did a great job of capturing the old time feel in this one.

Very cool Rob, I like it.

I really like the sepia tone. You almost can't tell if the photo was taken last week or shortly after the bridge was finished. Cool idea and well executed.

They sure don't make 'em like that anymore! Too much hand labor. Nice touch going with the sepia tone.

Nice Rob, I really like the looks of this.

That's some pretty amazing stonemasonry work for sure. Nice toning on this too, Rob.

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad we made it out to the bridge. I've always wanted to visit the bridge, but never had.
