Fw: [MC74 and Friends] my entries for BRIDGES










Dear Bi Twin, fellow PNEHS, painters, poets, Mai Quang and Forum friends,
here are my entries for bridges:
1- George Washington Bridge, viewed from the Hudson River Drive; photo taken during my early morning commute from my little corner of the world to Manhattan.
2- The highest point of the Macombs Dam Bridge, viewed from the Harlem River Drive, connecting Manhattan with the Bronx near Yankee Stadium; photo taken in the early evening light, during my commute back to home sweet home.
3- A section of the Victorian style Bow Bridge in Central Park's lake where I played paparazzi and was caught in the act...
4- The Pershing Square Bridge right over 42nd Street outside Grand Central Station; photos taken yesterday. I have been walking underneath this bridge a zillion times, but have never walked on it yet (it may not even have sidewalks as I only saw cars on the bridge whenever I looked up. I will check it out and report back to you :-))
5- I love Tua^'n' beautiful shots of the famous Golden Gate Bridge. I tried capturing it in full length, but came out so banal. So here are my humble contributions on its details.

Have a serene Saturday
from Be^n Bo*\ So^ng

  1. Hi EmCi & friends

    Your bridges entries are beautiful and unique, esp. the GWB and Central Park bridge... There's something dramatic and romantic about bridges... Remember the novel "Bridges of Madison County", I cried myself a river reading that... Thinking about it, even one of our popular childhood songs "Sur le pont du Nord" ends in doom...

    1. Thanks Caro for your kind comment. I agree with your observation about the bridges being dramatic and romantic. I did not read the novel but did watch the movie Bridges of MDC, and I must admit I reached for the box of Kleenex :-). I don't recall the song Sur le pont du Nord though.

  2. Dear Ci Twin,

    Ahem... there are 6 attachments :-) I love your bridges especially
    the very romantic shot in Central Park and the collage of the Golden
    Gate, the lighting on MD bridge is gorgeous too.

    Thanks,
    BT

    1. Thank you BiTwin for your sweet comment. You do have eagle eye: the light that evening on the MD Bridge was golden pink, casting the otherwise ivory beige colored bridge in this beautiful golden sheen.
      Math including counting from 1 to 10 was never my forte :-).
