I suppose if other people are going to blog this photo I might as well. This shot got picked up by five blogs (that I know of). No complaints other than none of them asked first. This is just a shot Tillie and I worked on one night when we were hanging out. I think we love light painting so much because it always ends in giggles.

This was taken at the Maumelle River AR 300 Bridge. This bridge was closed to traffic in 1981 when a new two-lane bridge was built. It is now being used as part of the 223 mile Ouachita National Recreation Trail. Since people backpack this trail it never closes. This made it an excellent spot for light painting.

I happen to love light painting. It is pretty silly but so much fun! If you haven't done light painting it probably seems a little confusing. Here is a tutorial by one of my Flickr contacts that explains it.
