Opposites Attract
The Rouses Point Bridge, also known as the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge, connecting Rouses Point, NY and Alburg, VT, has always fascinated me. Often traveling East to West at the end of a long day experiencing points of interest in Vermont, I find myself in the small parking area attached to the bridge around sunset. For more than a decade, that spot has been the source of all my previously posted images of this unique bridge as it offers great views of the bridge-sunset combination, as well as the bridge’s curved construction. Links to these images appear below.
Finding other interesting spots where the bridge can be photographed is complicated. There aren’t many good vantage points unless a boat is involved.
Enter the drone.
A small road on the New York State side of the bridge leading to the edge of the water is the location of the original bridge. It made an excellent launching spot for the drone. From this location, at 258.6 feet of altitude, I was able to capture this image (and many others), with a brand new perspective.
You can read more about this interesting bridge on Wikipedia.

In an attempt to help site visitors to locate some of the places I’ve visited, I am using What3Words to help everyone find the exact location. This tool will navigate you to within 10 feet of the images they reference! Not all things will be tagged this way as there are many places that need protection from those who won’t be as protective of the needs of our environment. However, I do recommend the What3Words service and I hope you find this new, much more specific, navigation to be helpful!
