Artist's Description
In the late 1980's I lived just few miles up the road from this bridge. More recently I bicycled to it on the Allegheny River Trail. This is true rural America and I find visiting here to be very restful. This photograph depicts the bridge over the Allegheny River at Parker, Pennsylvania. Parker Bridge is a truss bridge, constructed in 1934, carries motor vehicles, and pedestrians over the Allegheny River. The Parker Bridge has a considerable 6.32% grade to it, which gives it an interesting and unique appearance. It was reportedly an important achievement when it was built. The bridge is painted an attractive sky blue color. This is one of the few pre-1950 bridges on the Allegheny River outside of Pittsburgh to not be threatened with demolition.

About Joyce Wasser
I started taking photos a long time ago as a child with a hand me down old Kodak camera that took a 125 film cartridge. At first it was simply a means to record events, places and people, but now I find excitement in trekking, usually by bicycle, through cities, small towns, rural communities, abandon industrial sites and old buildings. I absorb the sights, sounds, smells and lighting of new places and try to capture their essence and communicate something of their majesty, mystery, memory, and drama. For me photography is a way to share the excitement and beauty of the world and express my own unique view of it. It's an art and a powerful communicator.
