Photographer Comments: I took this photograph on a camping trip I enjoyed with some friends during the last weekend I spent in Virginia before moving to the West Coast. It holds a high degree of sentimental value for me because of when and where it was taken. When I look at this photograph, I feel as though I am transported back in time to when I was standing on that bridge. The picture is somewhat unusual in that it unequivably conveys EXACTLY what I saw through my viewfinder as I tripped the shutter on that hazy hot and humid afternoon.
