The old bridge will be coming down as soon as the new one is finished . . too bad

Were you using a tripod to hold your camera? If not you have a steady hand! My hand would be shaking all over the place!

Even with "steadyshot" on the camera, it is difficult to hold the camera still enough. I have a very lightweight/cheap tripod that i use for almost all my videos and it makes a big difference in the watch ability .

I thought they couldn't take the bridge down until the bald eagles nest has been vacant for at least two years. ( From Fort Payne here )

There is a local group trying to save the old bridge but it seems to be a lost cause. the old bridge means a good deal to a lot of people in a nostalgic way.

It is outdated and even unsafe in its present condition, so it will likely be dropped into the river and then cut apart and hauled away for scrap steel. That is what happened to a similar bridge which was removed several years ago about thirty miles down stream from here.

We have a gloomy winter like day here today, yesterday was nice

Good one. Photograph every superstructure bridge, they are disappearing fast.

I used to live there, And every summer, me and all my awesome cousins would go swimming on Guntersville Lake! I miss it so much! My parents fricken forced us to move! And like, I hate Michigan so much! I can only go down to AL like 1 every year! It sucks, I miss my family down there so much! Well, a lil' advice, NEVER MOVE TO FRICKEN MI! =[
