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.

The Ring of Brodgar is a massive circle 341 ft (104 meters) in diameter Neolithic stone henge ceremonial site dating back to 2500 BC. Located on the Mainland island in Orkney, Scotland, it is part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney, a group of Neolithic monuments, chambered tombs, cairns, and mounds. Of the original 60 Ring of Brodgar stones, only 27 remain standing.
