Description
...Reference my post of Steel Angles three days ago...
...a few of you wanted to see a little more of the Deception Pass Bridge to decide if you'd like to walk across with camera in hand. It is 180 feet high and 28 feet wide.
...notice the only thing between a pedestrian and cars/trucks whizzing past is that thin cable used as a barrier between traffic and your body:)

P.S. For you history buffs, here's the short story.

Super collage of the top of the bridge Bill. It looks like it continues round the bend to the right or maybe another bridge.. Nice captures!!

WOOW! What a HUGE bridge. Not sure I would like to be on top of that :-// WOnderful views though... and excellent shots too.

So, you did manage to gather the courage to dare the traffic on the bridge for SEVERAL fine photos. Good work, even if you didn't walk the length of it! Actually, the photos of its underside girder work are more nerve-wracking than the photos from the top - you look suspended in mid-air in those photos! The two upper photos suggest the bridge is either curved, or in two sections with the middle resting on an outcroping of some sort. A well made series of photos and well made collage (which is an art in itself!) Keep up the good work! :-)

A great set of pics Bill, must be brilliant views from there.

What creeped me out walking along the bridge was the way it vibrated when those cars and trucks went whizzing by!! Also very cool was when a couple of Navy jets went blasting overhead--that was amazing!!

Lovely collage Bill, I wouldn't mind crossing the bridge if the barrier was stronger :o)

Ah yes, the 1954 movie, The High and the Mighty, starring John Wayne, Claire Trevor, Robert Stack, and a whole host of other actors. Stellar montage of the daunting bridge and environs, Bill. And, no one ever said that the life of the serious photographer was without risk.

What.... No bungee-jumping, Bill? C'mon, where's your sense of adventure? LOL! Yeah, that little barrier cable doen't exactly give one a sense of security. I'd hate to have the choice of getting nailed at 60 mph, or jumping.... Can't end well either way! Super photos of this bridge, my friend!

not much lol. i still would not walk it

I want to go there, and I'm just crazy enough to want to walk it and yeah, maybe bunjee jump...well, okay, maybe not: it might be illegal. Anyway, enough of that. You give a great sense of scale here, and the more I look at these shots, the more "flexible" the whole thing looks. I'm sure the vibrations of traffic passing must be impressive, and I wonder what a good wind will do. It doesn't have to be a strong one, just consistent, I wonder if it sets up a kind of aeolian harp effect...now that would be cool! I love these shots and your POV in each one really showcases the mighty-highness of this span. Marvelous!

Splendid collage!!

Awesome Collage!! Great perspective of this bridge.

Standing on that 36-inch-wide sidewalk with a 40-foot long tractor-trailer whizzing by a mere 15 inches away is NOT for the fainthearted! Nevertheless, it's a way cool place to visit. I just won't walk out there very far!

Awesome collage. Very well done
