Shutter Saturday: The Jug Handle Bridge

The Jug Handle Bridge is a recent addition to the Outer Banks. It goes into the Sound, then curves back towards land to disembark at the Rodanthe Roundabout. The reason is pretty simple: The Outer Banks is eroding and sinking, and the people that live there insist on living in a Short Term Paradise and need a bridge to get them there.

But the bridge is so new it’s almost white, and very stark and minimal. On the day we were there, it was practically a clear day. It almost looks like a bridge to nowhere. It’s a clean, elegant photo.
