There is a wonderful walking path along the I & M canal in Lemont that I walk along during my lunch.    Let me say how nice it was to be able to do this today considering it is January 30th!  The beginning of the walking path is a beautiful old swing bridge that was built in 1899.   I really like the old bridge and brought my camera today to try and capture some decent images.    You will see that the bridge is the start of a wonderful path that is hidden among the trees.

There are some gorgeous beams and an old type shack at the top of the bridge that I wish I would have been able to see back in its prime!   I was trying to capture some unique shots to capture the bridge's beauty and history.    I enjoyed my walk today and could not wait to get home tonight and upload to see if the images were as good as I had hoped!   I happen to love these images and cannot wait to find the perfect rusted looking type frame to place them in.    I love the depth of field I was able to achieve on the last shot...turned out amazing : )
