If this bridge looks familiar, it should. It is the same bridge that is in another picture further down the blog, different angle.

This bridge is in Kooser, just a few minutes from where I am here. It is a little park but pretty nice. It is peaceful most evenings, not a lot of people there.

Bridges are pretty cool things when you think about. On day, man decided, wow, this part of the journey is pretty difficult to cross, we need to come up with something to make our travels down this path easier…so, they built a bridge. Every time the road, the path, comes to a place that seems impossible to get through, a bridge goes up. Pretty neat really.

I could really use a bridge right now….

Today’s post is going to be short and sweet. I am sitting here with way too much on my mind to write some crap that most of you are not going to read anyways, haha.   I hope you enjoy this photograph, the sunset was beautiful this evening.

This image really strikes a nerve with me. I don’t know exactly why, put I am drawn into it. Maybe it is the symmetry, maybe it is something else..Or maybe it has something to do with where I am at in life and what it represents.

Recently I have been given a wonderful new opportunity in life. This path opened up before me, that I could never have fathomed even a year or two ago…and it was just there. I would think about it and this picture is what I would see in my mind. Do I take the path? Do I dare see what awaits me or do I just wait where I am? Well, I can’t resist a good adventure, so across the bridge I went. I imagine everyone has this feeling in their life sometimes. So, do you take the new path or does something hold you back? My advice to you, you only live once, so keep choosing new paths and never stop exploring the trails in life that open up to you. You never know what you’ll find.

Here is another photo from the other day in Gettysburg. My friend Jason and I spent the afternoon there taking photos and such.

This photograph of Gettysburg is off McPherson’s Ridge. Standing in the low ground between McPherson’s Ridge and Seminary Ridge looking east always makes for a great sunset photograph. You can see the monuments to General Reynolds and Buford a long with the monument to Hall’s Battery.

Sunset shots like this can always be a little tricky. Many times you will end up with the silhouettes and little detail in the foreground but the sunset will be in its full glory. This is one way in which HDR photography excels. The bracketed exposures allow you to capture all of the foreground detail as well. As fas as HDR goes, this photograph leans towards a more realistic view. More and more I find myself trying to use HDR as a way to capture what my eye sees, not some artsy surreal effect. I mean, I used to let my HDR’s drift off towards surreal, but I just don’t like it was much anymore. Eh, just me.

This photograph is over on Pictures of Gettysburg too. If you are looking for a cool present for your favorite Civil War buff why not purchase print for them? Okay, shameless sales pitch = done. Haha. You can find this print at:  McPherson’s Ridge Print.
