Morning Blues at the International Railway Bridge
Beautiful early morning on the Niagara River with a bit of chill in the air. This was well before sunrise and rather cloudy and blue tones were ruling the scene. To preserve the mood, I have not changed the white balance to force a correction.
The International Railroad Bridge over the Niagara River between Buffalo, New York, United States and Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. It consists of two sections. One is in this photo and takes the railroad between Canada and Unity Island (previously Squaw Island) on the Niagara River. The other section to the left connects the island and the mainland over the Black Rock Canal. Both sections have a swing span to facilitate boat passage. The one pictured here is no longer in use. The bridge opened on November 3, 1873.
