I-90 Sunset

Sunset behind I-90 bridge over Lake Washington between Bellevue & Mercer Island

Underside

The sun glares off icy lake water clinging to the pilings supporting this small car bridge.

Water Under the Bridge

Ripples in the water cast their reflection onto the underside of the bridge.

Seeing Trails

Lights of moving vehicles form streaks in this 30 second night-time exposure of traffic on the I-90 floating bridge over Lake Washington between Seattle and Mercer Island. Dashed light streaks were made by turn signals flashing on and off as the vehicle moved down the road.

Tacoma Narrows

The Tacoma Narrows Bridges.

These two suspension spans, the older completed in 1950; the new one in 2007, stand at the same location as the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge, also known as Galloping Gertie due to its tendency to undulate in high winds and eventual collapse. The debris from the original bridge sunk to the bottom of the roughly 150' deep channel, and remains there today.
