This is a cool-ass, old bridge in my hometown of Burlington, NC (the bridge is technically located in-between Glen Raven and Elon College! Look familiar Sis?

Ooooooooh. Nice pics. But, all that gridwork perspective looks awfully technical and hard to do. Good luck CB&B!

Looks cool, check your PM. I usually don't work from others photos..but I've been known to make exceptions. My one problem is lack of light...which I could change of course. I love bridges like that. Down the road from my mom is a bike trail that they converted from an old railroad track..it has lots of tressles going over the river. Last time I walked on them I picked up about 5 black snakes that found them to be great places to sun themselves.

Group date? Did you just hang them around your neck? Enquiring minds want to know.

EJ....... that looks like Webb Avenue in Burlington (Glen Raven), headed into Elon. The Old Hueys BBQ Restaurant used to be just past this bridge. Elon Students would go and paint their Frat letters on that bridge.

EJ..... I didnt know you were from Burlington (Alamance County)!! :happy-bouncyblue:

I just right clicked on pic #2 and brought it up to full screen. There's more light with shadows there than you may think, CB&B. You could do a lot with the colors on the wall! It might make a really good, big abstract in oil ! I'm getting sort of tempted to do a rendition, myself. Although I know the perspective and the ironwork would give me fits! ~X(
