The Shutter Sisters said: “Have you ever captured something so simple, so sparing that embodied so much emotion? Do share something today that quietly stirs you[r] soul.”
And so I share this picture:
“…the William Preston Lane, Jr., Memorial Bridge, more popularly known as the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. It is near Annapolis and connects the Baltimore/Washington, DC metro area to Maryland’s eastern shore via routes US 50 / US 301. There is an engineering marvel called the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, that does span the southern end of Chesapeake Bay, which connects the DelMarVa peninsula to the Norfolk, Virginia area via US 13.”
I took this shot from a plane on my way from Boston to BWI. I love the intense blue and ghostly feel to this shot. Hope you all have a great weekend!

I’ve been reading your blog for a while, found you through Goofygirl. I love your pics but this one is absolutely amazing. I have driven on that bridge a number of times but it’s cool seeing it from above.

What a wonderful shot! All of that blue…
Driving on that bridge is a bit of a ghostly experience (or at least a white-knuckled one)!

Daunting, spiritual and complete simplistic beauty. I love this photo, Janet.

That is a really awesome shot, Janet!

This is wonderful, Janet. Mr. Marvel and I were married in Annapolis and lived in Glen Burnie for over a year, but I don’t think we ever drove over this bridge. What a shame. Thank you so much for appreciating what you have.

What a phenomenal shot. It’s like a blueprint; surreal.
You are marvelous, woman.

That really is a wildly amazing photograph. It doesn’t look real. The bridge looks like it is spun from spiderweb as the distance and the surrounding blue make it seem so insubstantial.
