The Mountain Quarries Bridge, now more frequently called the "No Hands" Bridge was built in 1912 and is located just south of Auburn, CA. It crosses over the North Fork of the American River and is near the trailhead of several nice hikes in the area, including the trail to Black Hole of Calcutta Falls (which I have sketched as well as watercolored).
This concrete bridge has always caught my attention between the shape of the bridge and the shadows it casts. The reference photo was one I took last fall.
I enjoy seeing the balance created between the straight lines of structures, the bridge in this case, and the free form of nature.
