Natural rock arch spanning a woodland stream, circa 1955

About this postcard

A large natural stone arch bridges a rocky ravine, with a shallow stream running beneath it and bare-branched spring trees framing the opening; a small figure stands on the path at lower right for scale. The card carries no printed caption, so the specific landmark is not identified on the front. The scene is typical of the natural limestone bridges of the southern Appalachians, which were popular scenic tourist subjects on mid-century color cards.
