That's okay, Gary. Picturesque is in the eye of the beholder, as evinced by all the atrocious architecture and modernistic big box structures littering the landscape. Dadgum ugly if you like 'traditional' buildings, but really cool otherwise. I like the look of the river channels in SoCal. Had I stuck around long enough to build a module for my club, I would have most likely included one.
As for another bridge in the contest, no problemo from me! The more the merrier, I say! They will in the end be two very different spans (long vs. short, concrete vs. wood, trestle vs. truss, dry desert vs. lush appalachian wilderness). But both are crucial to running trains on our respective layouts. Well, at least running trains to a destination other than an 'end of track' sign.
