Description
The Cape Fear Memorial Bridge at Wilmington, North Carolina is shown here with a stunning display of colors at sunset. I was so pleased when I found a secluded little viewing area jutting out over the river near the Wilmington Riverwalk. There was no one else there, and fortunately I had the area all to myself as I watched the sunset and shot long exposures of this glorious scene. This sunset will always hold a special place in my heart.
The Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, which spans the Cape Fear River, connects downtown Wilmington with the city's western suburbs and provides a key route for commuters and travelers. Known for its distinctive green color, the bridge offers scenic views of the river and surrounding areas. It serves as a vital link for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic, contributing to the accessibility and connectivity of Wilmington's urban landscape.
The Cape Fear bridge is located near the Wilmington Riverwalk at Wilmington, a charming and historic boardwalk along the Cape Fear River in downtown Wilmington, just in front of the Cotton Exchange. During our most recent visit, the colors in the sky were incredibly beautiful as they reflected in the waterfront. The Riverwalk is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, providing a leisurely stroll amid the picturesque surroundings. The area hosts various public events and festivals, contributing to the lively ambiance of the riverfront. With its historic sites, scenic views, and a connection to the city's maritime past, Wilmington's Riverwalk stands as a symbol of the city's rich heritage and serves as a delightful destination for residents and visitors.
Wilmington, North Carolina is situated in the Cape Fear region, not far from Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach and Kure Beach. The cities of Southport, Oak Island and Surf City are within easy driving distance, and I always look forward to visiting the Wilmington area.
