Description
...this post has been inspired by Sea_Dog's LWITG post titled Bridge of Dreams. Click Here
Thanks for the inspiration Dennis.
...The Yaquina Bay Bridge in Oregon (built 1934-1936) uses Art Deco and Art Moderne design motifs as well as forms borrowed from Gothic architecture. The Gothic influence is seen in the balustrade, which features small pointed arches, and in the arches of the side span piers. The ends of the bridge are augmented by pedestrian plazas that afford a view of the bridge and provide access to the parks at the landings by stairways. Pedestals were provided for proposed sculptures of seals, but the statues were never executed.
Photo from our trip along the Oregon coast in May 2011.
Zoom worthy.

Beautiful image, The light has given the image a almost sepia hue , very appropriate for the title and the mood.

This is just wonderful! The very best possible sepia postcard it could be. Outstanding, Bill, and your information is great too.

The tones are spot on for a lovely pic Bill and a must zoom.

Lived in University Place for a year then went to ND to work. Ran into a couple of guys from Seattle there and we all agreed that a grey 60 degree day was better than anything we experienced in ND. This photo reminds me of that!

The sepia effect make's the image seem older which is perfect for the bridge,Terrific capture and great information

A stunning shot, Bill; it looks like it should grace a coffee table photography book! Well done!

I love your choice of sepia. Not sure why but I had the feeling of war when I looked at this image and am expecting soldiers to come marching across. Gorgeous work Bill.

Reminds me of the bridge across the Hudson River (I don't recall the name right now). These spans are so interesting and intricate. The sepia toning sure gives this photo an "old" feel to it. Considering your comments about pedestrians I assume this is for autos and people, not trains. Keep up the good work. I really appreciated the accompanying text. :-)

I like the old postcard feel, fabulous capture!! x

Great composition with that tree.

Well done, Bill. That bridge is photogenic from any angle and this is a superb angle. I like the postwork as well. Oh, and as you mentioned the Rogue Brewery Pub just down the road under the bridge is a Sea_ Dog approved watering hole.

Having tree where it is in frame... mixed opinions but still an overall great photo and the sepia works very well.

I agree with honey, this would be nice framed and on the wall Bill. Excellent work my friend.
wysiwig
Outstanding work. Very creative use of the subject as a backdrop for the tree. It has a wonderfully vintage feel.
dochtersions
An endlessness can be seen here, and what a great compo is on it. A great picture, Bill.

A really gorgeous shot, Bill! Built at a time when asthetics were a really important part of the construction industry.... They built things to last, and they built them to be pleasing to the eye. We seem to have lost that somewhere over the years.

excellent shot, beautiful bridge construction, wonderful tree!

Excellent... I like yours and your wife's image of the bridge...both are different..........somehow I really like looking at this bridge...if I lived there close to where the bridge is I would have to get a place with a view of the bridge... I just really like looking at it and all the different ways it has been captured on an image Hugs Susan~
