Bourne Bridge

Bourne Bridge

by Ana Paulina

 

Bourne Bridge

     At approximately 11:30 this morning, a funeral precession came whipping through Interstate 495 South, heading towards the Bourne Bridge, leaving behind pockets of 20 minute traffic jams, to anyone trying to access the highway.

And further up Interstate 495 South, between Exit 3 and Exit 4, I discovered this broken down school bus that was headed towards Martha's Vineyard, evacuating small children into a huddled group, with blankets and sleeping bags while they waited for a new form of transit transportation.

Broken down school bus.

I got some nasty looks from this group, my exploration was not welcome.

And heading North on Interstate 495.

The Salvation Army!

"Doing The Most Good"

 

Beijo!

The End!

Those children were, understandably, not happy campers.

The way you capture power lines in your photography is superb! And the intrusion into the lives of those that need assistance was great! Nothing I would love more than some random stranger taking a picture of me and of course, posting it on the internet. Great work!!

Ana,

The first photo of the Bourne Bridge is exceptional with the contrast of Fall foliage. Do you take photos of Cape's wildlife?

It takes me about 200 photographs a day.

200 photos a day? That's a lot of work, Ana, but I'm sure your rewards are grand. I've taken lots of photos of my wildflower garden and flowering trees, colorful birds. Maybe sometime you could do a slide show on your blogs. I'm sure it would be a big hit. Thanks for sharing.

Someone was
"out standing" in the
middle of the highway
for some of those shots...be careful!

Do you really want to
post a pic of a highway
sign with the word
"puke" vandalized onto it?
Think about it.

Setting that aside,
it's really a nice
pictorial.
