A Different Bay Bridge

The bridge from Paradise Pier into Pacific Wharf isn't anything spectacular, but it's a nice, pure exercise in structure, and I find a certain beauty to this. Maybe it's my background in architecture, but I often like strolling over this trussed span and admiring the bolted connections, the tension rods, the sleek steel, and the crisp shadows that they create when interplayed with light.  I just like the look of exposed structure!

Come to think of it, it's definitely because of my background in architecture!

Afternoon sunlight creates shadowed patterns on the bridge walkway.
