Arches

Pleasant Street crosses over the Charles River on Eliot Bridge. I see it every day and I've drawn it frequently over the years. Everything about it is familiar and still challenging to draw. The Pleasant Street Bridge, also known as Eliot Bridge, is a historic dry-laid masonry arch bridge with four spans, each 25 feet long. It is listed in the Massachusetts inventory of historic places and stands as one of the few stone bridges on the Charles River that has retained its original form.
