Our fourth bridge painting. The single greatest concern and challenge was getting everyone safely in place. After the recon-mission, we realized that we would need ropes on each end of the bridge to assist folks(including me) down into the ravine. On one side we tied a rope to a tree and on the other side we tied it to one of Rockefeller’s teeth. I said it was like flossing his teeth. We asked everyone to arrive earlier than usual to traverse the terrain in daylight. We had fifteen light painters including five first-time painters; thanks for spreading the word. Here’s the before shot.

After switching lights and adjusting the lighting a few times, here’s the final image.

Everyone made it safely in and out of the ravine and we took the group shot on top of the bridge.

We enjoyed Brenda’s home-baked brownies (Howie’s recipe). I heard afterwards that Kevin doesn’t usually like brownies, but this time he had two!  Lenny won the raffle of a Hemlock Bridge print. We all enjoyed the walk back as the carriage road was glowing with an almost full moon and the evening temperature was delightfully cool.
