A Very Big Bridge

We drove to Jacksonville Airport this afternoon to pick up our granddaughter who is visiting us this week. We took the leisurely route along the coast, taking us over this pretty impressive looking 'causeway.' I'm sure an engineer could explain the difference between a causeway and a bridge, but they sure look alike to me (and Danette did! See her explanation in first comment).

Causeways are mostly supported by earth rather than piers. Doesn’t mean that there isn’t an actual bridge somewhere along the line.

@danette Thanks! I'd been wondering about the label/name and why they weren't called bridges. There are so many beautiful ones connecting the barrier islands.

[Louise & Ken]

@taffy Beautiful photo, Taffy, and thank you both @danette for the additional information! I suppose I sometimes think its "a regional word", but I'm always happy to have an informed explanation!

Great shot and it does look like a very big bridge.

I like the position of the triangular points in your composition. We are headed south next month.

A good look at the wire supports. Why do these always remind me of string art?!

Great shot. Guess I need to get out a little more, as I sure don't remember seeing that one.

[CC Folk]

[KV]

Gorgeous bridge.

[Delwyn Barnett]

Intriguing design - I am assuming that has to be somehow structural?!

[Junko Y]

That's quite a bridge -- so photographically interesting with such great lines. What do you think -- would you remove that light in the foreground or is that taking too much license to the scene?
