Pedestrians cross the steel span of the Maple Street Bridge in Manistee, Michigan. Below the bridge, wooden pilings and waterfront buildings line the water, and the bridge and structures reflect on its surface. Manistee was a Lake Michigan lumber port in the early 1900s, and the scene shows the bridge as part of the city's working waterfront.
