Description


I shot this image through the front window of my car while driving across the suspension bridge in Wheeling, West Virginia. This bridge is almost 150 years old and is the oldest suspension bridge in the US.

I went on this when I was on my way to get Colette for the Maine trip. By that time I'd been driving about 18 hours and wasn't in any mood to take pictures. LOL #3559690

Thanks everyone for the excellent comments. Lol, Marcie, it's probably not the safest thing in the world to do, but the speed limit on the bridge is 25 mph and I was only going about 10 mph when I took the shot. It was fairly early on a Sunday morning so there wasn't much traffic in either direction! #3560003

Hey! I know this bridge; been over it
a few times myself - it's sooo cool.
Like the way you framed this Don -leads the eye right in, & down the span of the bridge. Hoping all is well
on your end!! :) #3560454
