Incredible capture. It just can't be fully appreciated except if you're standing there! #1241556

Dale Hardin February 22, 2010

thank you Michelle. Even though I could see the entire bridge, it was hard to visualize just how large it was until I shot this closeup of the workers. Here is a shot of the entire project so you can see the scale. #8407204

Jeff, I'm really looking forward to our next outing. Wish it could be in your territory. Would love to visit there.

Dale Hardin September 22, 2010

thanks so much Carla. On my next trip I plan to go back to the site and see if the bridge is finished. I took this with my small walk around camera 'cause it has a better zoom than my regular camera. #8924723
