An etching of the Union Street Drawbridge, viewed past a cluster of sunflowers which grew there last year when I made this print.  The chimney of The Green Building is just visible by the left arm of the drop gate.  

I produced the acquatint effect by pressing sandpaper into the ground and stopping out areas I didn’t want bitten.
