Here She Comes!

It was early in the morning in Greensboro, NC and I was in town to shoot a wedding.  Even when traveling, I try to stick to my exercise plan and since I’m moving very fast to  burn calories, I did not have my camera.  I did, however, have my phone.

Somehow, I ended up between the train tracks, and when the train appeared, I was more worried about getting arrested than about being injured.  As I waved at the Conductor, I’m sure he was thinking “that woman is just not right”.

Greenville, South Carolina’s Liberty Bridge

It was an overly bright and beautiful morning, and somehow, my camera settings were off (perhaps because I was riding the bicycle with my camera bumping along against my back).

Such a cool stop on the way to Atlanta, and a wonderful bicycle ride.

At 345 feet long, 12 feet wide and 8 inches thick, the concrete reinforced deck is supported by a single suspension cable. The deck’s distinctive curve has a radius of 214 feet and it is cantilevered toward the waterfall from supporting cables on the outside. The bridge deck also inclines 12 feet or 3% from east to west over the river.

Celebration by Gary Lee Price in Decatur, Georgia

In the words of the artist:

“To be able to fly is so symbolic of freedom and possibilities; and flying around a sphere, to me, represents the joy we experience in this life, and in the sphere of worlds to come!”
