oh, wow! i have a similar photo when i visited the locks in August last year. i miss Seattle!:p
ReplyDeleteExcellent bridge, we rarely see them in the upright position.
ReplyDeleteI've seen that bridge somewhere before -:)
ReplyDeleteI've only seen a couple of bridge lifts in my life - long before I started carrying my camera with me wherever I went.
ReplyDeleteSomeday I will catch a bridge in the 'up' position! I swear I will!
Hey, Halcyon, you were in my hood and didn't give me a call? :-)
ReplyDeleteTo your readers who mentioned it, it might interest them to know that actually, this railroad bridge is kept in the up position unless the train comes, then it goes down. This leaves the waterway open to tall boats and ships.
