#burnsidebridge — Public Fediverse posts

A late thank you to my 7/5 #FineArtAmerica client from Shepherdstown, WV. for their purchase of a 26" x 18.5" print of "Burnside Bridge in Spring." I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!!

(luckily, I was one of those 12%, after falling in love with Rotterdam's Erasmusbrug while living there…)

#CommunityDesignAdvisoryGroup, 20 volunteers tasked with review and a final recommendation, decided not to choose between the public’s top 3 choices.

Instead recommended that commissioners approve the Inverted-Y design, favored by roughly 12% surveyed.

While normally I'm supportive of the government spending a bit more to create infrastructure with inspiring designs, the new #BurnsideBridge is focused on allowing cars to drive over other cars, a function that is unworthy of soaring iconography.

I don't know the best way to let #pedestrians and #bikes use the new #BurnsideBridge, but these wacky ramps are not it.

I mean, the existing #BurnsideBridge is not exactly an impressive structure, but at least it has the bridgekeeper towers to impart some personality. It is a shame that their design can't be incorporated into the new bridge, even just as a decorative relief on the sides of the new concrete pilings.

What a shame that the beautiful section of the new #BurnsideBridge will be over the ugly highway, and the part over the river is just a bunch of concrete pilings. It really ruins the joy of looking down the length of the river and seeing beautiful bridge after bridge stretching across the water.

"Burnside Bridge In Spring"

https://lois-bryan.pixels.com/featured/burnside-bridge-in-spring-lois-bryan.html

One of my own personal favorites … this was the scene of great tragedy during the #BattleofAntietam in the #AmericanCivilWar. Loosely based on a photo I took in May of 2019 and #digitallyhandpainted in #corelpainter.

No Ai / artificial intelligence things used.
