Title: Road pictures from unusual vantage points
Post by: kphoger on June 08, 2013, 04:17:04 PM
I'll start with some from underneath Wichita's Canal Route.

Three years later and I'm still trying to remember what bridge this was:
(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F3A0M3IL.jpg&hash=8358b5d102c34cfdc4f7911aff2299bd1fb350ec)
I do know that's the Hudson River, fairly close to Albany, NY. Our Southwest Airlines plane was starting to lower, before making its final approach towards BDL (Bradley International) in Windsor Locks, CT.


Now this picture is one I had captioned before, so I know this one is correct:
(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F29D76xf.jpg&hash=9b348de32189dd72dc835b75840ca3a3e8d4150e)
From L to R is US Route 20. The top to bottom road is Indiana Route 912, which is the city line for Gary (left) and Hammond (right). Picture taken on July 24, 2010. Our Southwest Airlines plane was lowering for its approach to MDW (Midway Airport) in Chicago. The view is roughly south-southwest.

@ NE2 and EMPIRESTATE: Thank you! I thought it was the Amtrak bridge between Rensselaer and Albany at first, but then ruled that out, knowing that the Dunn Memorial Bridge to its south would be obvious. :)

The only thing wrong with that image was that the URL said Int79. :sombrero:

Int = Interstate | US = US Route | SR (or state abbreviation) = State Route/Road | CR = County Route/Road

I've used dashes "-" for years to separate descriptive words or phrases in image filenames (underscores are hard to see if underlined), or "+" to include bits together...something like "Sunset-I-275east.jpg" looks weird. "Int275e" makes more sense to me. There's no complete rules for this, since I took a photo of the work, it could have named it: DeltaATLtoPIT-BlueBridgeAerialNearPIT-14Jan2013-800px.jpg

It sure beats those "URL shorteners" that Google, TinyURL, and Twitter use; or the camera's image filename, which give no clue as to what you're looking at.  :confused:

Here's the Yukon River Bridge, carrying the Dalton Highway (AK 11) across the river, which I photographed in 1994 from a tour boat upstream from the bridge:

That's a 6% grade on the wooden-decked bridge, can be a little tricky in the winter.

For another one, of an old BGS preceding what is now the Interstate H-1/Interstate H-201 interchange (while the latter route was signed only as HI 78), I had to climb atop some playground equipment in an adjacent park, so that a chain-link fence along the freeway ROW would not get in the way.  The kids in attendance seemed amused.

(https://www.aaroads.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hawaiihighways.com%2FH1-exit19B-BGS.jpg&hash=8fc4f5913e58cf6abd9b44b647b5de974088690f)

The interchange was unusually dangerous to drive, with narrow lanes and shoulders, so I thought it too dangerous to take a road-level photo without a passenger to get the shot.

This one is probably not necessarily an "unusual vantage point," but I thought it appropriate for this thread simply because of how perfectly aligned the runaway truck ramp is in this particular photo. It gives it sort of a Dukes of Hazzard look because the ramp looks perfectly positioned for catching major air. My wife took the picture from the passenger seat this past Monday somewhere on Corridor H in West Virginia.

While the vantage point isn't TOO unusual, my recent vacation in Ocean City (MD) was on the 6th floor at a place on 62nd St, which is the "continuation" of the MD-90 roadway on the other side of the coastal highway (not actually MD-90 at that point).  It made for a neat view of the road & bridge.  Occasionally the lights for the "Tune to AM xxx" sign were on, though I never checked what was going on.

I actually wanted to stand up on the concrete (https://goo.gl/maps/g94x7kPEaexxyvCv7) to take the picture, but I didn't want passing motorists on Kellogg to think I was planning suicide.

I took this picture in August 2018. It's the legendary sign bridge in DC that had the boarded-up I-695 sign and the other signs that remained in place for over 50 years. The vantage point may be "unusual" in terms of how most people see this assembly, but it's not hard to get this picture, other than it perhaps being difficult to find a legal on-street parking space in the area (the Saudi Arabian Embassy is across the street behind my vantage point in this photo, so parking is restricted for obvious security reasons).

Last year I took the kids out for dinner, and on the way back, I used my brights to show off the only button copy sign in town. They thought it was neat...they wanted me to do it again the following month, but I had to explain that you can't just shine your brights when there's lots of cars in front of you. On the other hand, they recalled the location (though probably because it was the same restaurant).

I love shooting older Kansas signs from angles that show off the demountability.

Yours is cool because it shows off details of the truss, including the spacer that's used on the upper support for the signs to give them that downward tilt that you don't see in Oklahoma.

There's a fairly new rental car center connected to Omaha's Eppley Field, which allows you to get a view of the road beneath the rental counter booths:
