Think this fits better here than in transportation. C&C welcome, thanks for looking.

Doesn't look like the bridge I am thinking of. The one I am thinking of is not a supsension type bridge and is about 17 miles long and have two tunnels.

Where is that bridge? This is the one in southern MD. From Annapolis to eastern shore, Ocean city etc. Route 50/301. The only Bay Bridge I know :)

..which it looks like nobody has an opinion of:p I kinda like the shot but wondering if it's too much sky..?

The chesapeake bay bridge he is referring to is between the eastern shore of VA and VA beach, I like it, there is not to much sky, the color is gorgeous I love the sharpness and the architecture feel

thanks! A quick look at google maps and I see the "other" bay bridge. Wow that thing is crazy long!

Thanks for the comments

Very nicely done! I am familiar with that bridge, as I live in Annapolis. It looks like you were on the eastern shore side, right? May I ask what lens you were using?

PS - the "other" bridge is also known as the Chesapeake Bridge Tunnel and is quite an engineering feat. Very interesting do drive through it and stop midway.

nice pic.

incidentally, the bay-bridge tunnel toll is like $15 or something.

Robbie, you are correct. I was looking towards the Annapolis side. I was actually just walking back to the car when I saw this and snapped some shots. It was taken with a 300 f4 IS I'm renting for a trip to the Bronx zoo this weekend, but apparently it's not too bad for landscapes either:)

By the way I've been to Annapolis a few times, very nice city. I'll have to bring my camera one day when I have time. Imagine it's pretty during the holiday season.
