Blue Heron bridge

When you live in a place as beautiful as Palm Beach County, Florida, you can find an never ending supply of photo opportunities and some of them are quite surprising. In the last few months I have explored the area around Blue Heron bridge... both on top of the bridge and under it (on both the east side and the west side).

As you'll soon see, this post should really be titled "Strangers under the bridge" or something like that. Many photographers I know are very comfortable walking up to strangers to ask them if they would mind being photographed. I am not exactly at that point yet; I still like to be sneaky about it. However, more and more I am realizing that quite a bit of photography can be more interesting when the main subject is a person, or at least when a personis in the shot. For some strange reason I have had luck taking strangers' pictures in this small area near the Blue Heron Bridge (and none of them knew I was there).

 

I was very excited at the view when I first walked up to the top of the bridge

 (ok, it was the only time I have ever walked up there).

Looking down (again, more strangers)

 

Looking down the ladder!

Here's my very favorite from one of my visits to the bridge and it is my Palm Beach County photo of the week on DPC.
