Bridge Wednesday - Twilight Glow

Ravenel Bridge at Night, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok
(Click on image for larger view)


Aglow in the twilight, the Ravenel Bridge displays its symmetrical form while reflecting its illuminated towers in the waters of Charleston Harbor. This is another one of the images from Hank's Seafood cookbook.

      I do occasionally influence the color of images with filters or processing, if it adds to the atmosphere of an image.

    Gorgeous shot. I like the empathy between the shapes and colour of the bridge and the string/rope around the bollard - clever and creative.

    Hi Doug.... you could have told me about these shots when you visited yesterday.... now i wish that i could have seen the bridge at night... these are superb... i like how you framed it with the tie-up in the foreground...
    i guess i had better stay out of your back yard so to speak...lol :-)
