Shackleford Down Under

Shackleford Bridge, 'Down Under' as it were. The main span is 158' long, but from here it looks longer than that. These old bridges are truly amazing, not only for sheer size and beauty but for their engineering that has survived for 102 yrs, in this case. I would loved to have seen one of these go up!
