Cooper River Bridge
(aka Arthur Ravenel, Jr. Bridge)
Architects: Donald MacDonald
Engineers: Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade & Douglas
General Contractor: Palmetto Bridge Constructors
Location: Charleston, South Carolina
Here's the same view as the previous black & white version, but a couple of hours later. The sun had just set and for a very brief time up on that bridge, I was suspended in a sort of pink and white mist. It was a bit disorienting and the light felt very surreal. I believe that pink layer that you see sometimes opposite the setting sun is the penumbra (the shadow cast by the earth, itself).
Couldn't decide which version I preferred so posted both.
