The first is intriguing, made me want to go there and shoot it myself.

The second is fabulous! Beautiful!

The more pics of Charleston that I see, the more I want to go there myself.

I am guessing you had to crop the top down to eliminate something that wasn't helping the picture. If you had more room to show more background, it might be even better.

I like both shots, but really love the second. I have to ask though, because I lived in Charleston back in 88-90 when I was in the Navy... Is the suspension bridge new? I don't remember seeing that before...

It's due to open July 16th. It's the longest cable-stayed span in North America, and is called the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge. They had 3 years to build it and did it in 2. I don't know how comfortable that makes me!

Thanks, Michael. Are they going to close the old bridge?

Anyway, I really love the second picture - each time I look at it, I think I like it even more.

Michael, I think both shots are superb. The old and new bridges composed like you did it is a stroke of genius. The other one is just gorgeous. It has been too long since I visited Charleston.

Love 'em. Hope the first is a bit more rugged than the second looks :-)

I was stationed there '85-'90, and the suspension beridge wasn't there. The other bridge is the Cooper River Bridge...
