For my Watery Wednesday post here are two pictures of the Benjamin Franklin bridge, which I have yet to cross. This bridge spans the Delaware river and connects Philadelphia Pennsylvania with Camden New Jersey. I took these pictures on the 4th of July at Penn's Landing. You have to look really hard to see water in the top picture but it's there.When this bridge was built in 1926 it was the longest suspension bridge in the world.

There is something always so fascinating about bridges. I love them. Great photos :) Aloha
Great pictures! Great job with the trivia too. We learned that on our carriage ride around the city!
Great photos of the bridge.
That looks like a beautiful bridge. Great and different watery photo.
A magnificent construction, that bridge! Great shots - and I do see the water! :)
I love bridges. The first photo may not have water, but is a wonderful 'portrait' of this bridge.
nice shots James, what is that cement arch in the bottom one?
Are you keeping count of the number of bridges you've crossed? I'm nosey that way.

Your title reminded me that I just watched a special about Ben Franklin the other day and found he was quite the scamp in his day and fond of porn. That came as a surprise.
I do like your photograph, James.
Lovely sky, bridge and the water...all in one postcard perfect.
That's an amazing looking bridge. People are surprised planes can fly. I'm surprised bridges can close the gap between two pieces of land. I'm also surprised you haven't crossed that bridge yet. :-)
Great bridges spanning the water and lovely skies.
Thanks for your visit, James. I will come back this evening to check out your posts.
Grand bridge span! Certainly a dramatic shape across the water!
Nice water, but the sky is stealing the show in these pictures! They are beautiful.
Great shots of the bridge James, these are spectacular.

Very impressive bridge! And you caught it so well!
These would have been perfect for Sky Watch Friday too — the sky's a gorgeous blue and the different types of clouds so interesting.
What is the stone arch in the second photo? It doesn't seem to serve any purpose.
James, I saw the water even without my glasses. Great shot and beautiful skies!
I do believe I went to Penn's Landing once and saw this bridge. A long time ago!
The snaps of the bridge are magnificent.
Love the bridge James. Your snaps just make the world feel that much friendlier.
Hi just stopping by from Bogey's blog, and had to say bridges scare me. I'm one of those people who roll the windows down in case we go in the drink - I want to be able to swim out! :-)
thank you when you visited the home village of pages:) oh how beautiful pictures you have here! nice week:)
Wow, very impressive suspension bridge!
Great shot on a very old and very long bridge.
I'm soon planning to shoot one similar structure. The Bandra-Worli Sealink in mumbai... hoping to get some nice shots... The pictures you have posted are awesome... I love the way sky looks....
Dramatic shots. Something thrilling about suspension bridges crossing a body of water...
Beautiful loght and airy bridge.
