Bridge Over the River Konig

Bear Mountain Bridge, New York, U.S.A.

 

I have a really good friend who used to drive over this bridge every day to get to work. Many a photograph has been taken. Several others too, have posted shots of this structure, among them this picture of this bridge. On a recent visit when I asked to be taken there, to see "The Bridge"(Which actually spans the Hudson River), I was immediately struck by the scenery surrounding it. Accordingly, I have tried to incorporate it into my shot of the surrounding area rather than concentrating on the bridge itself.

 

Map it: Google Earth | Street | Satellite | Hybrid (This is where I was standing when I took the shot)

 

The day was extremely hot and hazy and the original exposure was very dark and flat with no definition to the trees and a blank sky. I probably should have used a polorizer, but it was in my other camera bag. *doh* This hand held hdr version I originally took as a WTF "backup" has it's drawbacks, but I think that the trees are more defined and despite the haze, there is more depth to the scene. I hope you like it.
