These are the remaining pilings of a 1930s rail and construction bridge that crossed the Osage River in Missouri.  The bridge made it possible for materials to be delivered by train directly to the construction site of Bagnell Dam.  

Bagnell Dam is a hydro electric power plant owned by Ameren UE in central Missouri.  The dam also formed the lake known as "The Lake of the Ozarks".

    # 1 & 2 for me. Amongst is too cluttered looking and BW loses all the wonderful color. Reflections are good tho. Just my opinion.
