Patriotic Bridge

Opened in 2006, the 4,226 foot long Big Dam Bridge, which spans the Arkansas River and Murray Lock and Dam between Little Rock and North Little Rock, is the longest pedestrian and bicycle bridge in North America that has never been used by motor vehicles or trains. The bridge includes a state-of-the-art lighting system that can illuminate the bridge in varying displays of color that often coincide with holidays or special events. One of the most colorful light displays occurs around the 4th of July when the bridge is awash with red, white, and blue.  I made this photograph from the North Little Rock side of the bridge, and my settings were 50mm, 5 sec, f/11, 800 ISO.
