Bridge Wednesday - Port

Ravenel Bridge, Mt. Pleasant, SC  © Doug Hickok


Graceful and imposing, the Ravenel Bridge stretches across the Cooper River, offering easy passage by foot or auto. Framed beneath the bridge's span are two container ship cranes, part of the Port of Charleston where thousands of tons of cargo pass each year.

Perhaps one of your holiday gifts passed through this port...

    Such great strength here. The bridge itself screams strength but the colors and composition are equally strong. Fantastic shot Doug. Happy Holidays!

    Beautiful lighting and angle. It looks like the bridge comes right out of the sun with those rays on it! Very pretty!

    I know this Ravenel Bridge so well, D!
    It's the same bridge that was chosen by the Business Plan, right?

    Ha... I'm waiting for your Christmas gifts. Oh yes!
