That is in interesting truss-esque bridge. (IMO it is not a true truss because some of the structural shapes are not triangles.) Maybe somebody can identify it and explain.

Very nice landscape, Nice location, Thanks.

It is inevitable for me to ask: Where is the water ?, and the photograph Nº395060 immediately comes to mind.

Hey Dave, it looks a lot like what is called a Baltimore truss (with some additional horizontal bracing) which is sometimes considered to be a modification of the Pratt truss, except in this case with diagonals of alternating direction as in what is called a Warren with verticals. There are at least half a dozen different styles of trusses employed in bridges, some more common than others.
A couple of quotes from History of Bridges dot com, "Pratt truss: has vertical members and diagonals that slope downward to the center. It is a variant commonly used for railroad bridges." & "Baltimore truss: made like Pratt truss but it has additional bracing in the lower section of the truss which prevents buckling in the compression members."

Fantastic shot!
