Sidney Lanier Bridge, Brunswick, Georgia, 2014

Named for poet Sidney Lanier, this bridge carries four lanes of US Route 17 across the Brunswick River. It is the longest span in Georgia, and each of its twin towers is 450 feet tall. I photographed it through the front window of our bus at the fast shutter speed of one three thousandth of a second in order to eliminate any blur from our moving vehicle. The bridge appears as if in a dreamscape – its four triangles of cables suspended from the tops of the twin towers blend perfectly into the overhead clouds. These clouds move through the image in a horizontal line, following the path of the bridges roadway. The ramp leading to the bridge anchors the image, carrying the eye through a sweeping curve, over the row of repeating supporting pillars, below the towering triangles of cable, and finally dips down another ramp into the city of Brunswick itself.
