Road Trip–Yaquina Bay Bridge
The Yaquina Bay Bridge was built in 1934-36. It is one of eleven bridges along the Oregon Coast Highway designed by Conde McCullough, an engineer who was head of the Bridge Division of the Oregon Department of Transportation. The bridge is one of the more recognizable landmarks along the Oregon coast.

Glass Sculpture
A final photo from the Bridge of Glass. It is interesting to imagine Chihuly’s sculpture as a prism filtering natural light for many years to come, providing inspiration and pleasure for many generations. There is more information about the bridge here.

Glass Sculpture from the Chihuly Bridge of Glass
The Chihuly Bridge of Glass is a 500 foot walkway outside the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington. The sculpture is from artist Dale Chihuly, a world famous glass sculpture artist from Tacoma. Thousands of pieces of Chihuly’s glass sculptures are imbedded in the glass ceiling of the walkway. Light shining through the sculpture creates beautiful and pleasing compositions.

Another View of Bixby Creek Bridge
The Bixby Creek ridge is 280 feet high and the main span measures 320 feet. This shot was taken a short walk up the Old Coast road which rejoins Highway 1 at the bridge. Before the bridge was finished in 1932, travel to Big Sur from Monterey was an arduous journey over rough roads and many ridges and valleys. I’m grateful that it is so much easier today.

Bixby Creek Bridge
This beautiful arching bridge is an icon of the California Central Coast. It may be familiar to many from its appearances in numerous automobile commercials. There is some historical information here.
I stopped for this shot on a bright and hazy day in late February. The winter rains have turned the hills green. I set the aperture to f/16 for more depth of field and shot 5 bracketed exposures and blended them together in Photomatix Pro 3.2.
