Thunder Storm approaches Veterans Memorial Bridge
First opened for traffic in 1930 Veterans Memorial Bridge spans the Susquehanna River between Columbia and Wrightsville Pennsylvania.
Recently my wife & I visited Amy (Ash’s Eye) & Justin at their home in Columbia. Wanting to take some outdoor family photos, Amy suggested visiting the small park and boat ramp at the bridge.
As we finished with the shots and were preparing to leave I noticed the darkening western sky with ominous clouds which were beginning to blot out the sun. The lighting effect seen on the bridge is the effect of the sun intermittently shining through the broken clouds along the front edge of the storm.
Shortly after arriving back at Amy & Justin’s home the full wrath of the storm arrived bringing with it heavy rain and hail.

Hope you had good lighting for the family shots. The photo of the bridge is breathtaking...a post card shot, for sure!
ReplyDeleteVery striking photo. The perspective on it draws you right into the storm!
ReplyDeleteThat's a classic Susquehanna River bridge if I ever saw one: It's amazing how shallow that river is relative to its width.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great shot with wonderful composition...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGlad you could catch the sky shot with the bridge before heavy rain and hail came. Great Sky Watch post.
