September 29, 2019  •  11 Comments

Photographed from a sail boat, the Bay Bridge is a major dual span bridge in the U.S. state of Maryland. Spanning the Chesapeake Bay.  With shore-to-shore lengths of 4.33 and 4.35 miles the two spans of the bridge form the longest fixed water crossing in Maryland and ranked 102nd among the world's longest over water structures. Officially named the "Gov. William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial Bridge" after William Preston Lane Jr.. who, as the 52nd Governor of Maryland, initiated its construction in the late 1940s finally after decades of political indecision and public controversy.

What a marvelous shot - great angle. Like that you chose the b&w. I remember well driving over that bridge - a bit of a nail biter!

Exccellent composition and panoramic effect by using this curve of bridge. It seems to go on forever. Texture, tone and shadow are perfect. Well done.
