A Bridge Over Reflective Water
Uploaded: February 07, 2008

I find it very relaxing (and a nice change of pace) to head out shooting in the evening after a hard days work. I shot this photo of the MacArthur Causeway Bridge on my way out to Miami Beach to grab a bite one night. It's very popular with photographers as you would expect. This is my take on it. Hope you enjoy it.

Lisa, Colette, Patrick, Tila, and Sandy, thank you so much for the support. It makes the days when you dump a full card into the computer and come up empty a little easier to take. Today was one of those days and this is uplifting to read. #5461201Michael S. Lazarus February 07, 2008
