Post card from America

A last minute holiday to the American and Canadian East coast brings us on our first full day, to Newport, Rhode Island. This taken just after sunrise from our cruise ship as we enter this exciting port town. PiP shows more of the bridge.

This is the Claiborne Pell Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in New England. The overall length of the bridge is 3,428 meters (11,247 feet). Its main towers reach 122 meters (400 feet) above the water surface, and the roadway height reaches as high as 66 meters (217 feet).

The lighthouse is called: Rose Island Lighthouse.

Hi Gordon. A long way and distance to my usual photos here. I reality, only a few days of photogenic stopover with a lot of empty ocean in-between. I have yet to check them all out.

Best. Herb
