Crossing Over Photo

Photographer’s Note

This was taken at Rock City near Chattanooga, Tennessee this fall. Rock City is a large rock formation on top of Lookout Mountain and is a big tourist attraction. Pictured here is the "Swing-A-Long" bridge spanning more than 200 feet over a deep gorge.

Before the days of mega-amusement parks like Disney, it was smaller attractions like Rock City that Americans flocked to when the automobile came into its own. Billboards advertising Rock City dotted the landscape all over the eastern half of the United States, and can still be seen.

Adjusted levels, saturation +20, sharpened.

I like this one Robert! The angle you chose - looking up, with the two people looking as if they're walking on a very narrow bridge makes this scene thrilling. Well defined colors and nice leaf details as well.
