Mar 27, 2005

Went for a bike ride this morning. Took some shots of the South Grand Island Bridge.

More bike ride pictures at http://www.pbase.com/dhnieman/march_27_2005

Grand Island sits smack dab in the middle of the Niagara River. This South Grand Island Bridge connects Buffalo, NY (actually Tonawanda, NY) to Grand Island, NY.

The Interstate runs over this bridge as the route is a favorite to Niagara Falls and all points north. The North Grand Island Bridge connects Grand Island to Niagara Falls, NY.

Olympus D-580Z

Very nice. I really like the blue on the bridge. Hope to go to Niagra Falls next year so I will see this in person. :o)

You captured this bridge beautifully Don, I will be crossing it in July, we have a graduation party at Beaver Island State Park. Nice bike you have btw. I will be riding mine more this year, I need the exercise after the long winter.

Beautiful shot, Don!

I have to add myself to the long list of fans of this image ... and I have to figure out why ... best I can do at that at the moment is to say that there is something of a refrain of patterns and colors that sounds like a classic.
Guest 28-Mar-2005 21:58
Very nice pair of bridges
Gail Davison28-Mar-2005 19:17
the colours and the reflection are fantastic. I really like this.

Tor28-Mar-2005 08:48
THis is a great bridge shot. The colours are wonderful, and so is the composition. And I really like the way you have post processed it (also the frame).
SP Merrill28-Mar-2005 04:29
Superb, good lighting and balance!
laine8228-Mar-2005 02:53
Is it the blue or just the overall appeal. Think it's wonderful Don. HMV !!
littleheifer28-Mar-2005 02:32
Absolutely breathtaking! I have never seen it from this vantage point. Gets my vote.

Don this is totally fabulous. I am such a fan of bridge shots and this is a beauty!
Vinh Luu28-Mar-2005 02:09
Megan said it all, the point (no pun intended) about the vanishing point especially. the bridge, and its reflection leads you into and across the photo very nicely.
Guest 28-Mar-2005 02:01
You've captured it well on this cool gray day! Very nice treatment Don.
Chris28-Mar-2005 01:47
Beautiful shot.
Neal Nye28-Mar-2005 01:16
Very nice. I like the overall bluish tones punctuated by the reddish masonery at the base of the bridge.
Guest 28-Mar-2005 01:07
fabulous shot as good as the engineering!
Well done
Dan Chusid28-Mar-2005 00:55
Majestic and splendiferous!
Coleen Perilloux Landry27-Mar-2005 23:30
Beautiful photo. Our library system is having a photo contest in April that has to feature a bridge and this could surely win it.
Dave Wyman27-Mar-2005 22:48
