Building the Ravenel Bridge


After all the photos I took, I've tried to arrange them in some order based on various topics I found interesting.

And a reminder from T.S. Eliot (East Coker from the Four Quartets) 

Old men ought to be explorers
Here and there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
For a further union, a deeper communion

Where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers converge to make the Atlantic Ocean

From the top of the west pylon - Charleston

From the top of the west pylon - Looking west

From the top of the west pylon - Mt. Pleasant

Here are the component photos to build the panorama

Every bridge must have a secret - and our new Cooper River Bridge is no exception. Can you find the secret stone in this photo?
