Description

An out-of-focus and poorly-lit photograph of the Old North Bridge in Concord, as viewed at a distance. A wide walkway spans the width of the bottom edge and stretches back towards center. Beyond it, the bridge sits in the near distance, just left-of-center, and stretches back towards center, crossing the Concord River. Trees stand in the background and a monument is just visible at the far end of the bridge. A filmy, white haze glazes over the majority of the image.
