This is the original scan after being spotted for dirty spots and scratches but before I cloned out the guy wires and their shadows and applied the buzz. #35026

Let's try that again--oops! #96904

Kathleen Clemons May 26, 2019

Well as you might expect, I absolutely LOVE this!!!!!! The inclusion of the runner is perfect and I love the buzz effect on the granite slabs. (You may want to correct your description- it's the Cribstone Bridge). Thanks so much for posting this one! #96912

Dottie Shepherd May 26, 2019

Murry, a great shot... #96916

Lianne E. Cook May 26, 2019

great job on a wonderful shot murry! #96956

Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019

Thanks, Kathleen, Dottie and Carolyn. I have changed the name of the bridge in my description, Kathleen, but Delorme's Gazzetteer must be wrong also because that's where I got the name. Cribstone sounds better :0) Sorry about the double post on the original. The reason the bridge is so compressed is because I was shooting with a 100-300mm zoom at 300mm. It was approaching mid morning so the magic light was gone. How long does it take to drive from where you live to the bridge itself? Looks like about 5.5 miles on the map. #96959

Great shot, Murry! #96964

Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019

Thanks, Lianne. My connection to the internet is so funky the last few days that I'm having a few problems seeing all the posts in a timely manner. #96967

Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019

Thanks, Joy. I guess I'll catch up eventually :0) #96968

Kathleen Clemons May 26, 2019

We may have to straighten those Delorme people out. lol As for time, hmmmm, it's only about 1/2 mile by sea, but more like 10 miles by land. You have to drive halfway up to Brunswick, take a bridge across the sound and drive back down to the Islands- probably about 20 minutes. Much quicker by boat! :) #96974

Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019

Funny with all that water I never thought of going by boat--Duh! #96991

Needless to say I love this composition, Murry, angles, colors and even the shortening by the lens. The runner makes it perfect!

Are you sure you didn't photograph Forrest Gump?? That's what this reminds me of...when he ran from the EAst coast to the West! Leave it to me to make a connection with Forrest Gump...hmmmmm.
