Commodore Barry Bridge

is the longest cantilever bridge in the USA. It spans the Delaware River from Bridgeport, NJ to Chester, PA (just south of Philadelphia). Most Tuesdays we go across it to visit my Mother in Stroudsburg - a 300 mi round trip. I finally got a picture of the bridge I like - I normally would take 1 or 2 or 3 ,,, every week. Outside of the added frame, it is completely sooc. View Large

@laurentye Thank you Lauren; I look at the weather before I leave, set the iso, the aperture, put it in aperture priority mode and then start the trip.

Nice job Harry. I find this type of photo very tough because the perspective is always a bit off.

[Harry J Benson]

@wac Thank you Wendy, they let us go down the center lane and cruise control helped the perspective

Bridges have such neat lines, hard to catch on the fly; but sometimes you get lucky.
