Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge, Rhode Island

I’ve just returned from a week away...primarily spent in Newport, Rhode Island. I’ll be sharing some of my perceptions of the vacation in several posts to come. Today the topic is the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge - the highway between Jamestown and Newport, Rhode Island. The bridge is a bracket for the beginning and ending of my time in Newport.

The first morning I was out photographing the bridge from the balcony of the place I was staying (through the rigging of sail boats). It was a cool morning and it was before people were out and about. The lights were still on the bridge.

I took another series of pictures from the water side of the Hunter House. It was raining on the day we toured so I was holding the umbrella over myself and my camera as I took this picture. The vantage point is a little closer to the bridge - still from the Newport side.

The last morning of our stay - we tried to get away early enough to see the sunrise from the Jamestown side of the bridge. The car too longer to pack so we were about 15 minutes past sunrise. My sister captured the best image of the bridge from the Newport Overlook (Jamestown side) to I chose it to include in this post.
