The Bridge

The Bridge | Oregon

Last weekend I finally returned to the Oregon coast, more than six years after my last visit. A black & white photographer’s paradise, for sure. The Astoria-Megler Bridge, taking US 101 across the Columbia River, the last bridge before the river runs into the Pacific Ocean. The gloomy weather definitely helped in taking this long exposure monochrome image, smoothing out motion in water and clouds.

More of my photography can be seen on my blog “Streets of Nuremberg“

The Big Savage Tunnel

Black And White Photography, Laurie, Mobile Photography, Photography

The Big Savage Tunnel is located on The Great Allegheny Passage Trail which runs 150 miles through Pennsylvania and Western Maryland. The GAP Trail is part of the Rails to Trails movement which creates multi-use public paths from abandoned railroad corridors. At 3,291 ft long, the Big Savage Tunnel was built by the Western Maryland Railway in 1912, and refurbished for bicyclists and hikers in 2003.
