Thanks Paddy, they are quite impressive,...aren't they? There are 8 different ones all together, each holding a different vehicle in a sort of protective grasp, so I'll have to mount a major photographic expedition to the city with modern as well as my vintage cameras. A vast undertaking, but well worth it.PADDY said:That is just lovely. I'd be really interested in seeing you do a collection of the other ones!! It's almost like a Colossus rising out of the ocean in a scene from 'Jason and the Argonauts' (from Greek mythology). Definitely has a feel of 'empire' to it, and is not 'unlike' sculptured images created during the height of the Victorian British Empire, where trade, industry ..etc, was celebrated through such art (not unlike German art of the 30's).
And to think, some dummy wanted to tear them down! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorain-Carnegie_Bridge
