Arthur Ravenel Cooper River Bridge

Photos taken through a glass window at South Carolina Aquarium, looking upstream.

8-lane US Hwy 17 + a walking/biking lane.
Triangular Cable-stayed Bridge
Total Length: 13,200 feet
Longest Span: 1,546 feet
Height: 575 feet
River Clearance: 186 feet
Opened: 16-July-2005

You can read about it at Wikipedia and watch a video ride across HERE.

To be honest, it looks pretty flimsy to me.

On a poverty-level Kentucky budget, a 24-exposure roll of film would have two Christmases and a summer vacation on it and we might have to wait another six months before being able to afford developing the film.
I still have trouble remembering that it doesn't cost anything to take thousands of pictures; it just almost seems impossible to be true.

Wow! You mean I didn't have to stand in a swamp and get attacked by no-see-ums to get a shot of this bridge??? Actually, I think the view from the other side is needed for a sunset, but I suffered for that photo shoot!!!

I assume these are more of your wife's photos, BuckSkin . She captured the gracefulness of the bridge and got some pretty awesome skies!

Yes; some from her recent trip.

I do wish she would have walked out on that outdoor overlook and took some more of both the bridge and the ship.

Her photos are usually tack-sharp; shooting through glass sort of takes the edge off them.

Oh.., and I will relay the compliments.
