Chesapeake Bay Bridge from Annapolis to the Eastern Shore

This is not the famous, long bay bridge-tunnel. That one is much further south of here. This one is at the north end of the bay, the narrower end, and still look at how big the bay is!

Crossing the Ohio River is the point at which I know that I am out of the South. West Virginia is a sort of transition zone; because of its very concentrated forest-and-mountain landscape, it is hard to see what is going on there while just passing through. Then the land drops to the river and the sky opens up and I'm crossing another scary bridge into rolling hills and farm fields. And I'm free of the claustrophobia that comes over me in those mountains, in any mountains.
