New River Gorge Bridge. Something a little different from my usual, I posted another shot weeks ago from another angle. This image shows just how gigantic this bridge is. 876 feet at it's highest point, 3030 feet long and 88,000,000 lbs in material. It was known as the longest steel-arch bridge in the world until the Lupu Bridge in Shanghai was built and exceeded it by 105 feet. Thanks for viewing.

Will you be there for the BASE jumping?

Wonderful angle on that bridge. For the base jumping, you better get there the day before if you want a good spot. I hear there are thousands of people crowding on the bridge and surrounding areas.

Been over that bridge many times - It still gives me the willies driving over it - don't know how anyone could jump from perfectly solid footing into space...

Great shot!! Such a wonderful view. I would suggest a polarizer to cut the glare on the tree leaves...I think it would saturate the scene nicely. Glad to see that you didn't arrested either...sheesh...

Thanks all for the comments. Yes I'm planning on being there on bridge day. (Oct 21) I want to get pictures from every angle I can of the crowd and jumpers. But I'm also working on getting a pass to be allowed directly under the bridge during most of the jumping. When those first time jumpers reach the maximum stretch of their bungee and are only a few feet from the water it should prove for some interesting photos. ;)
