Here’s a view not seen very often – condos and a roofline, with the Memorial Bridge looming large in the background. The shot was taken from one of the guest rooms of the Ale House Inn, which has a unique vantage point of the bridge as it lifts. Chances are – you’re used to seeing water beneath the bridge, and appreciate seeing the bridge as a crucial element in transportation. From this angle – it almost becomes more of a sculpture, without any direct indication of what is going on beneath the roofline. This scene will be very different in a matter of months – with the lift span being removed sometime in early 2012 and the rest of the bridge coming down soon after.
