I'm not seeing a photo Judy.
I know the bridge well and I'd love to see your interpretation of it. (Dont hit the preview button after you load it, just hit send, it erases your photos).

I live in Sarasota, and that is the Sunshine Skyway bridge. The fishing piers are the old bridge abutments left after the freighter ran into it during a storm and knocked down the south(?) bound bridge. Rebuilt as a suspension bridge.

Judy,
My wife and I live about 10 miles from Fort DeSoto and the Skyway Bridge. We love to go there toward evening and watch the sunset. Here are three photos from our many visits. All photos are unedited and taken with a Fujifilm EXR200 superzoom.

sorry, I am not used to the way to use this forum...but, in answer to your picture...this is probably one of the prettiest bridges to photograph..although, being from the San Francisco Bay area (orginally) I'm a little partical to the Golden Gate Bridge

That is one of my favorite bridges .... If you live near there you should go out around sunset and take it ... the way the lighting is on that bridge it looks like a sailboat from either end .... thanks for sharing.

Siesta Key Beach was voted the best beach in the United States in 2011. So you know my slice of paradise. I will share two sunsets.

Love the bridge and Siesta Key photos. We vacationed at The Colony on LBK until it "went 'south'". There are plans in place to redevelop it.
