This photo was shot in manual mode, ISO 200, f-stop 22, 1/6 shutter speed.
The footbridge is near the old Tower House Hotel, which is now restored. Tower House was an active hotel during the mid 1800's situated along the route between Redding and Eureka, now highway 299. It is maintained by the National Park Service, and tours are available.
This was a wonderful day to shoot. There was a slight overcast which reduced shadows, and there were no people present at the Tower House, or the bridge. I had the park all to myself. I spent a little while there just enjoying the absence of humans, the sound of Clear Creek rushing under the bridge, and the birds. It was like going back in time.
