On our way to and from New Jersey, we drove over three major bridges:
- Maryland's Chesapeake Bay Bridge;
- Delaware's Memorial Bridge;
- William V Roth, Jr. Bridge, also in Delaware
Now, I am really no fan of bridges, especially those that span a large body of water, such as the Bay Bridge and the Delaware Memorial Bridge do. If I can drive down the middle lane, then I'm fine cause I don't have to look over either side and see water below!
The Roth bridge is a little different, tho'. It spans the C & D canal and when one approaches, it looks like a very. tall. yellow. triangular-shaped rod, reaching up to the sky. The above photo doesn't quite capture the look but gives you an idea.
What I love most about the bridge is the farther you drive across, the wider the span becomes and suddenly, you are alongside and see this*:
As a quilter, I love the lines of the bridge and the colors - yellow (is my favorite) and the sky's brilliant blue - are perfect. So, this is definitely going in my quilting inspiration file. Definitely.
Do you keep an inspiration file?
Cheers~
*graffiti and all! I just really want to know: when do they do it?!!!
