A Local Landmark (4 images, 1 video)

For more than 50 years, I have driven, ridden, and walked across this thing and wandered the shoreline in its shade. Certainly, I have captured many pictures of this location, but this is the first time this bridge and the drone were in the same place at the same time!

I pulled over along the road and spent a few minutes capturing the bridge and the surrounding area from the air.

We landed in the Lanard-Hornbrook County Park while on a short side-trip to avoid the main highways of Pennsylvania. These images were captured at the boat launch area.

As we pulled out of the park driveway, we observed some rather interesting neighbors living across the street from the park entrance. My camera wasn’t quickly available to include their photos too, but the title of this post captures the thought that ran through my head in that moment.

Opposites Attract

The Rouses Point Bridge, also known as the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge, connecting Rouses Point, NY and Alburg, VT, has always fascinated me. Often traveling East to West at the end of a long day experiencing points of interest in Vermont, I find myself in the small parking area attached to the bridge around sunset. For more than a decade, that spot has been the source of all my previously posted images of this unique bridge as it offers great views of the bridge-sunset combination, as well as the bridge’s curved construction. Links to these images appear below.

Finding other interesting spots where the bridge can be photographed is complicated. There aren’t many good vantage points unless a boat is involved.

Enter the drone.

A small road on the New York State side of the bridge leading to the edge of the water is the location of the original bridge. It made an excellent launching spot for the drone. From this location, at 258.6 feet of altitude, I was able to capture this image (and many others), with a brand new perspective.

You can read more about this interesting bridge on Wikipedia.
