Lake Shore Drive Bridges




I was downtown playing croquet this morning and had to drive down Lake Shore Drive. I was amazed at how many bridges I had to go under.This bridge is actually over the Chicago River and you can't see it other than the towers around it. I do believe it raises to let the boats go out to Lake Michigan.

Candied sticks



This is a display at a resturant near me, Cooper's Hawk. It has a lovley selection of wines but I was struck by their "sticky" display. It is sugar coated. I haven't seen anything like this before.

An Interstate Bridge

 
Since I live in the Midwest....bridges aren't as common here in the breadbasket of the world! But there are PLENTY of interstate bridges to see. This one is actually a figure 8 but I like this view.

2 Foot Bridges

 
These 2 foot bridges are on one of the holes of the Inverness Golf Course.....a very exclusive club that I don't belong to by the way....the only way to get this photo without actually playing the course is to walk up someone's driveway so I opted for just driving by and shooting this.

A New Orleans bridge

 
The funny thing about this bridge is it goes no where. The building on the right used to be a brewery that is no longer. The building on the left has some stores in it and a fast food aisle and I guess at one time the idea would be to grab a beer and a sandwich and sit outside.
