Freedom Falls

The water levels in Shull Run, a tributary to Allegheny River, have really dropped the last few weeks which has dramatically affected the waterfalls. Fortunately, this is still a beautifull hollow and offers interesting photographic opportunities. I might have over processed this somewhat as it looks a little crunchy when not viewed at full size. But, at the same tme I love pen-n-ink style images. Feel free to let me know youur thoughts. Feedback is always good

Rockland Station Bridge Ruins

The remnants of an old bridge along the Allegheny River Trail in Rockland Station at the foot of the hill Freedom Falls and the Rockland Iron Furnace which is reported to be the total abandoned site of a small village called Freedom. It can be seen that this bridge could have connected to Rockland Rd and lies parrallel to the old rail bridge leading to the Rockland Tunnel, but I don't have any other historical reference to it's acutually purpose. If anyone can add to it's history please leave comments. Hope you enjoy.

Belmar Bridge East

The spectacular Belmar Bridge over the Allegheny River was built in 1907 as part of a railroad built by local oil man Charles Miller and John D. Rockefeller intended to connect New York with Chicago. Ultimately, it transported much of the coal from Clarion County to Ashtabula on Lake Erie. https://www.avta-trails.org/sandy-creek-trail.php The bridge is 1,385' long or just over 1/4 mile and a spectacular view of the Alleghany River
