Description
This is the first sight you see when you enter Watkins Glen State Park from the lower end. It was actually my last image, since I started my hike from the top.
This picture was taken with a Canon 10D camera with a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L lens at 70mm focal length. The ISO was 400 and exposure was 1/125th sec @ f/4.
Your comments are always welcome! Constructive criticism is very much appreciated.

Such a feeling here! I think this brings us back centuries ago! f/v
Gene Walls replied:
Thanks a bunch, Eti! The Sentry bridge was built in the 1930's, but in a very "old world" style. Kindest wishes, Gene
Byron Snider
Wow, can you even imagine the engineering required for this then it all done by hand stone by stone. Great color, details and framing fv
Gene Walls replied:
Thanks, Byron! Originally, wooden bridges and walkways were installed here in the 1800's. These stone bridges were a real engineering marvel for the 1930's. FDR commissioned the Civilian Conservation Corps to build the permanent structures through the gorge. Their stone work is truly amazing! Kindest regards, Gene

Very nice shot! If you could shoot at ISO 100 it would help with the amount of noise in your shot. vf
Gene Walls replied:
Thanks, Marvin! Of course, you are right, but it was getting dark and there was a light breeze, so I had to keep the shutter speed as fast as possible to freeze the foliage. This was my last shot on my way out of the park. Kindest regards, Gene
