Scenic Route

[Rye]

I drove over 100 miles today. I drove through almost all of the 5 burroughs of NYC. I took a different route from the way my family usually does when we go to visit my cousins, and it was extremely scenic and gorgeous. Faster too.



(Did you know that's the second longest suspension bridge in the world? The biggest one is in England.)

I'm very sleepy after all of that driving. So post some picture of scenic things you've driven by, or on, if it's a bridge. I'd say preferably your own pics, but I hope you paid attention to the road more! Hehehe!

(SPOILER) I took this picture last year. It's US Route 33 crossing the Ohio River. The picture is from the West Virginia side, facing Ohio. I made it a wallpaper for my computer.

I hope this is what you are looking for!!

It's not really scenic, but I drive on two large bridges fairly regularly: the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

Bay Bridge

A very small part of the 23-mile Bay Bridge-Tunnel

Wow, that's a beautiful photo, Yar. The trees look like red paint brushes!

That bridge is really cool too, Raist. It looks like it lasts for ages.

This bridge is fun too. It's to Newport from the southern tip of Rhode Island. It's an amazing thing to drive at night, especially during the incline down.

I don't have pictures, but whenever I need to go downtown I just drive along the bay rather than using the freeway. It's so pretty x3

I wish I knew where my pictures from Scotland went. Got many very scenic pictures up in the highlands. Failing that, here's one



I snapped with my cellphone camera while driving around in the Pyrenées. Mountain scenery is my favourite.

There's a scenic route I like to take when I drive back to my girlfriend's house from the CBD. It's curves around the bay she lives by and isn't something you'd expect to see in the suburbs of Sydney.

Also, here are some shots of a scenic walk we took along a bush path when we went on our last vacation to a place called Jervis Bay. It was the long way back to the beach house, but it was very pretty.

This penisula is called Perpendicular Point. I didn't get why at first, but now I totally do. xD

(SPOILER)
Picture of Greenfields Beach which we lived right next to. Super white sand. Super blue water. And dolphins in the morning!

(SPOILER)
Just a photo of side path and an opening in the trees that I quite like.

And this is a bonus photo of when we went canoeing. Though we had to drag the canoe across this long sandbar to continue paddling up the coast, I let her do most of the work. But hey, a great photo is the result.

sry to disappoint you there

bridges:
my hometown used to have this awesome iron bridge over a small creek. Then they widened the road and took it down and just put in a box culvert. The bridge has been sitting in someone's pasture for the last ten years


Someday, when I'm a rich engineer, or my friend tisha is a rich doctor, we'll buy it back and erect it somewhere.

scenic routes:
There are two basic ways to get from my parents' house to Fayetteville, where I attend college. One is to take Interstate 40 west to Alma, then hop on a relatively new road, Interstate 540, which was built during our lifetimes. The old way, is to take a highway from Alma north, Highway 71, which has some.. incredible curves and hills. I've only been on it once, but it was an incredible ride. There's a few points where you're just going up high into the Boston Mountains, and then you can see off perfectly into the valley, and it was just the perfect day for the view.
