Go North East: Roadway Stripe Livery
View allAll Photos Tagged roadway
The morning fog had burned off the valley as I headed east on CA 58 towards Tehachapi, Bakersfield behind me. I wasn't sure how this would come out, the sun was above and directly in front of me, so bumped up the contrast and used my slightly tented windshield and fast shutter to reduce the brightness. Also luck to find one of the few spots on this steep climb big enough to pull my rig off the roadway.
Good morning everyone, I have a friend who I photograph with who has the uncanny ability to spot birds doing 50-60-miles an hour on some very busy roads here in So. Florida, here is an example of such a find.
On one of the busiest roadways here in Florida he turns and says did you see that, and of course I say what now, he turns the car around which is not an easy task, and we see this, so here it is, in all it's glory.
Thanks for listening and thanks for visiting, and stay safe everyone.
Isaiah 43:19 “Behold, I am going to do something new, now it will spring up; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.”
This section of Wi Hwy 42 at the tip of Door County Peninsula is quite possibly the most photographed section of roadway in the state. It looks quiet now but believe me it was anything but when we were there last week. When we arrived, there were already a half-dozen vehicles pulled off to the side to view and shoot, people in the middle of the road dodging near constant traffic. We waited and waited, finally five left and we leapfrogged the remaining one to grab this quick shot before a new vehicle leapfrogged in front of us. It was not a completely clean grab, there was a vehicle at the far end that I erased. Same with a power line, but I left the mailbox and realtor sign.
I have seen a few of this scene and most all take out the power line but the verdict is split on whether to leave the mailbox.

Right when you enter the San Francisco Bay trail in Sunnyvale there are some wires where hundreds of Barn Swallows hang out. This makes for an easy photo opportunity, and we were excited to get this picture. You can find the adaptable Barn Swallow feeding in open habitats from fields, parks, and roadway edges to marshes, meadows, ponds, and coastal waters.
The Roberto Clemente Bridge, also known as the Sixth Street Bridge, spans the Allegheny River. The current bridge was completed on September 29, 1928.
Named for the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball player Roberto Clemente, it is one of three parallel bridges called The Three Sisters, the others being the Rachel Carson Bridge and the Andy Warhol Bridge.
The three bridges are nearly identical self-anchored, eye-bar suspension type, so called because the horizontal pull of the top cords is resisted by the steel girders along each side of the roadway. The suspension system consists of 14" eye-bars extending from end to end having two pins on the top of each tower and carrying the roadway by 4" eye-bar suspenders at the panel points. The stiffening system consists of triple web plate girders placed parallel to the road grade. The girders are thus subjected to stresses due to bending combined with direct compression. All three bridges were fabricated and erected by American Bridge (AB). In an innovative approach, AB turned the eye-bar catenary/deck girder system temporarily into a truss by adding a diagonal to enable erection by balance cantilever and avoiding falsework in the river.

What would you guess? Probably a decade ago as a bird was sitting up on those wires it dropped a Malus Lollipop Crabapple tree seed into the ditch at the side of the road. In her not so quiet solitude she grew to be the Queen of the road.
The road by High Newton Reservoir stretching out into the distance. The reservior was created in the 1870s to provide Grange-over-Sands with it's first proper water supply. It's mainly for fishermen now.
It is not a stretch to imagine where I got the title for this image. The narrative came right away, as this huge and fallen tree appeared to be protecting the much smaller, and highly vulnerable of those that lay below. They too were given a remarkable view of the distant mountain, which also offers depth to the shot.
Out of the picture is the clearing for a roadway that is likely where the tree originated. However, that place has not changed in over a year, while the young grow beneath the safeguard of the departed.

First edit of a image made a lot of moons ago. Have not published this before as it comes with a strange story...
Spotted this old formed but unused roadway south of National Park village at the site of a old prison. As i was photoging at the road side i was approached by a local who informed me of some property issues which i won't comment on and from some one that i had never met before called me by my first name.That at the time was a bit disconcerting and the place gave me a strange feeling so hence up until now, when it now feels ok, i have processed it into a form that now seems right.
Funny how with some of these images and places its just a pure feel thing...and it's taken a bit of time to get comfortable with the place and to convey that feeling properly from that visit even down to the rain spots on the lens.
