Sunset from the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway

After our time in the boat, in the swamps in Slidell, we decided to take the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway back to the French Quarter and enjoy the sunset from the bridge. We couldn't have timed it better!



No matter which way I looked the view was phenomenal!







The Causeway, consists of two parallel bridges crossing Lake Pontchartrain, the longer of the two bridges is the seventh-longest in the world and the second-longest over water, measuring 23.87 miles (38.42 km) long.

Watching the sunset over Lake Pontchartrain I feel like I can see forever!  For a moment my world is suspended - I don't move, I don't breathe, I just am - in forever.

We timed our crossing of the 24 mile bridge perfectly to watch the sun fade from the sky. Everywhere I looked were glorious colors, water and nothing else. Divine!
