Under Cobwork Bridge


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Under Cobwork Bridge
Under Cobwork Bridge
The southernmost island of the Harpswell Peninsula is Bailey Island. The numerous coves and bays of the peninsula are commonly filled with anchored sailboats. Bailey Island is connected to Orr Island by the "Cobwork Bridge". The bridge was built in 1928 and constructed with granite blocks laid in such a way that it would not be washed out by intense incoming and outgoing tides. Amazingly, no cement was used in it's original construction. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Thanks Kathleen for sharing this bridge with us on our Maine shootout!!

  Great capture Dolores, I remember you taking this, but never looked through the bridge like you did! Nice perspective and love that deep blue water! I had to go buy another pint of ice cream for this hot week!

  Dolores - great shot and thanks for the explanation! Makes me wish I could have joined you. Seems to me, BP needs to do an eastern reunion in addition to a west coast one!

  Dolores, you've got to work on keeping the horizon level :0) Seriously a very unique image to use this bridge as a frame. Well no one said anything about ice cream or I would have been there (LOL)!!

  So well done that I got a little vertigo while viewing this shot, Dolores, the crisp blue and white tones make such a cheerful contrast against the darkened framing of the bridge!
