Taken from the level of the streambed just upstream from the confluence with Ruxton Creek, This image affords a clear view of the footbridge with its curved wooden railings. On the left, the boulder that sits at the confluence is behind the bridge, on the right, the rustic gazebo over Navajo Spring with its rough branch uprights is also behind the bridge. In the center, the roof of the Manitou Bath House, with its hipped-gabled finial topped square towers and chimney shows behind the bridge. The bridge crossing Fountain Creek after the confluence is also visible, under the bridge in the foreground. A cable crosses the image.Physical Description1 copy photonegative : black-and-white ; 18 x 13 cm (7 x 5 in.); 1 photoprint ; 26 x 21 cm (10 x 8 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectFountain Creek (Colo.)--19th centuryManitou Springs (Colo.)--19th centuryPedestrian bridges--Colorado--Manitou Springs--19th centuryGeographic AreaManitou Springs (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710001662Type of MaterialFilm negativesNitrate negativesPhotographic printsBlack & white photographsDigital Version Created FromManitou Scrapbook.NotesFormerly F2519.
