DescriptionA black and white photograph capturing suspension bridge cable brackets strewn on the ground. A tall metal framed structure towers in the background, dwarfing a man standing at its base. In the foreground, metal U-shaped brackets litter the ground, some with their pegs still in place. The thick steel cables have been cut through, leaving each bracket with several inches of remaining cable. Hills fill the background.On View
