Glass Sculpture

Photograph of glass sculpture from the Chihuly Bridge of Glass in Tacoma, Washington 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.

Another View of Bixby Creek Bridge

Photograph of Bixby Creek Bridge on California Big Sur CoastThe 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

Photograph of Bixby Creek Bridge on the the California Big Sur CoastThis 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.
