From the Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge you can get a great view of the Minneapolis skyline.
The bridge itself is an amazing work of art, more information and another shot of it can be found in the link above.
The reason I was there for this trip was to get some brake light/head light blur shots. It wasn't working too great because the traffic wasn't all that steady.
I did get some good shots though and had fun. The view of the city wasn't too bad either ;-)
Very pretty. The symmetry of the bridge against the soft clouds of the night sky is a really nice contrast.
ReplyDeleteThanks haleyhughes,
ReplyDeleteIt is really a fun place to be.
I really love bridges. I've had the same idea of getting shots of lights from passing traffic down below. So many bridges, so little time.
ReplyDeleteToo true Ratty, thanks for stopping in.
ReplyDeletePlus this bridge is an hour from my house so it takes a little too long to get there as often as I'd like.
Hey, you're on my EntreCard! Your ad looks good there - hope you get some visits, I haven't seen much success with ec yet..
very nice shot, like a scene from a horror or sci-fi movie!
ReplyDeleteYou're right Dinah, it does have an eerie feel to it.
ReplyDeleteThe large parks on both sides of the bridge make it even more weird when night falls and everything goes dark.
great shot! i love seeing those soft clouds and the full moon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteThe sky seems so nice through the bridge.
ReplyDeleteThanks liza,
ReplyDeleteThe clouds really do make this picture great.
Thanks Bob
ReplyDelete@Avishi:
ReplyDeleteIt really was a nice night to be out taking some pictures.
I'm from MN in Japan now. I really enjoyed this shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thomas,
ReplyDeleteI remember reading somewhere that the view from the roof of the Walker Art Center(next to bridge) was voted the best view of the city.
It is a fun place to take pictures, glad you enjoyed it.
