I was going to make the same comment, but as you say, digital cameras aren't the best at reproducing colors and do have a lightening effect.

I did that intentionally. I thought the river being exactly centered in the middle of the truss bridge didn't look right. Nothing in nature is symmetrical.
Or were you referring to the girder bridge? It just came out that way when I was carving the foam out.
By the way, I got the truss bridge installed last night. I just need one piece of track to lay, on the right side of that bridge.
...it was one of those quiet, windless days in the mountains. The water was so still you'd have thought it was glass. With no noise except for the frogs and the crickets, you could practically hear the old railroad girder bridge rust in the humid air. In a few days, though, there would be noise enough, when the track gang arrived to lay the new ballast, ties and rails along the mainline that had been selected for an upgrade...

Thanks Gary and everybody else.
Last night I was going to add ripples into the river. Its supposed to set up in 12 hours. But after 16 hours it was still too wet and making the ripple didn't take, it kept flattening out. So no ripples. Oh well it will be slow moving water I guess.

I like how the bridge isn't centered on the river. Not sure why it strikes me that way. Part of the inner me I haven't figured out yet.
