Cincinnati, Ohio 2011: An evening with the riverfront

[seicer]

During a walk around Cincinnati's waterfront, I was able to photograph some of the park and connecting bridges during a summer sunset. The bridges covered include the 4th Street Bridge, Central Bridge, Daniel Cater Beard Bridge, Purple People Bridge and Roebling Bridge.

27 The Daniel Carter Beard Bridge lacks lights that could highlight the impressive arch span. The Purple People Bridge is in the foreground.
