For a different type view from this bridge, try this shot:

It's the storm that "chased" me off the bridge!

Hi there -- I've been on that bridge quite a few times, but didn't notice any pedestrian walkway. That bridge is full of photo-ops in just about any direction!

But, wasn't "Galloping Gertie" this bridge's precessor? I saw that movie when I was a kid...maybe I'll see if I can find a link to it.

Great job!

Wow, Swash...I feel like diving off..great capture of the challenge. Great depth has been achieved. I like the contrast of the straight lines of the metal structures and the curved motion of the water. The composition is well balanced. Good job.

Enter your comment here, and then cast your vote...Wow. No doubt about this one being from above. Nice shot. Good luck. Are you on the deck or in the struts? And did anyone try to talk you out of jumping?!

Just don't take that first step! :o Excellent perspective; I can almost feel myself plunging toward the ground! Color saturation and tone is perfect for this shot.

Vertigo strikes! I felt a little giddy looking at this one - great depth, caught the ripples from the water well too. A good shot. 7.

If this photo had a little more contrast it would be great.
