Highway Bridges in Philadelphia

Dorothy and I traveled to Pennsylvania today and my interest with shooting while driving was peaked with these highway bridges in Philadelphia. After leaving the airport we drove across the Girard Point Bridge which was recently repainted.

Then, after a stop in south Philly for a cheesesteak, we crossed the Delaware River into New Jersey via the Walt Whitman Bridge.

Early in the evening, we headed back to the airport crossing the Walt Whitman in the opposite direction as the sun was setting.
