XLT POV!

Yep!!! Cool one. There used to be a tunnel there years ago.

Lucinda, you did a simply outstanding job on this very cool dedication for your friend. This truly is one amazing looking bridge, and I hope one day I have the pleasure of viewing it in person.

Fantastic perspective and very great shot !

This is such an amazing structure! I love your photo, and Thankyou for the reminder about Brigitte's birthday! When I got my new computer I lost all the calendar with all the birthdays, such a nuisance.

Very good capture and dedication

That's really a cool bridge. It almost looks like a Vue image!

Having taken a good look at your post today - reminded me very much of a proverb: "SPACE ISN'T REMOTE AT ALL, IT'S ONLY AN HOURS DRIVE AWAY, IF YOUR CAR COULD GO STRAIGHT UPWARDS" (Fred Hoyle) *** This is indeed a spectacular and striking view - Lucinda, it makes me wish (secretly) to be an Architect, how about that ? The clear and defined lines seem to reach all the way to the sky into another dimension - with an ominous looking sky and that is the other spectacular and interesting thing about it, a sunny sky would have never looked so intriguing - I am fascinated, to say the least - and to think, so close in the heart of Texas and you never knew it ? ;)) maybe I too, will see this special bridge one fine day and crossing many other bridges on my travels to Europe, a glimpse of things to come and I am looking forward to it, with my camera going wherever I go ... wish you could be there as well ;) THANK YOU VERY MUCH, my dear friend for such a lovely thought on this day, just 2 more weeks! and then I am up, up and away ... Cheers and many hugs for you ... BB

Excellent photo, love the angle!!

Great sense of composition !!!!

As I catch up in your gallery, at least with THIS image I'm on time! And I see Brigitte loves it. You really dived into the language of bridge cables---it's a big symphony of cable-lines, crisscrossing and doing their thing. And your heightened yellows make them shine, as if they had light inside of them. And they all culminate in the end, with those big upside-down "V"s. I don't know if you intensified the blues right above the bridge, in back, or if those blues were already in the shot: But they're a great contrast to the yellows. And you used a painting or some kind of textured filter, to make this seem like a painting. A really clear-eyed image, peering into the language of a bridge, and making it a very articulate piece of music. I don't know Brigitte, but I know of her, and everywhere people mention her, she's held in very high regard: Happy Birthday Brigitte, and many more! Beautiful image and dedi, Lucinda; and great that just one car was on the bridge when you took this: It's as if it's coming out to greet you!

Magnificent beyond anything I can say, Lucinda.

fabulous picture and dedication

I looked up the bridge. Quite an impressive creation. Your shot certainly brings home its grandeur from the personal level of experience; you get a strong sense of the massive scale of the bridge as well as its delicate beauty. The white and golden skeleton contrasted perfectly against the darkening sky. Maybe even challenging nature herself - something to shoot for... You must have been in motion when you took this shot too. But it is wonderfully sharp and clear bring home the imposing detail.

It is a gorgeous bridge and an outstanding Happy Birthday for Brigitte and a wonderful send off photo for her upcoming European adventure!

Also congratulations for this photo being selected for the LWITG!

This is a very cool image not only because it is an excellent and fitting dedication for our friend Brigitte but because it appears you a one handed capture while driving. Outstanding work.

Amazing what a lot of lines and a splendid light, as textures you show us here, Lucinda. And special in connection with the travel of BB* a most fantastic sight, sign and Birthday gift. Bravo for Brigitte, and Lucinda!

Oh my! What a gorgeous bridge! I looked it up to see where I could see it ... and discovered I'll most likely have to content myself with your photograph. We try to stay out of big cities as much as possible, as you know. But you inspired me to plan a route for next autumn's trip! LOL! So now I've got a tentative, preliminary route, which is plenty of nav work to have accomplished by the middle of June. :P So anyway, about that photograph! I love the strong, graphic lines against the puffy clouds. What fantastic contrasting elements they provide! This just sings ... it's a wonderful image!

Excellent shot. Wonderful lines and a nice shot of light coming in from the right just to lift a few details.
