Sunday Bridges - I Left My Heart In San Francisco

I’m going to trespass into Louis’ territory a little, if he doesn’t mind, and post this picture that I took during my visit to San Francisco last week.

I believe this is the Richmond-San Rafael aka Richmond aka San Rafael  aka John F. McCarthy Memorial Bridge. We passed under it while taking the Vallejo Baylink Ferry back from Napa. I was outside on the back of the boat and didn’t hear the tour guide on the loudspeaker when he told us the name of this bridge.

The northernmost of the east-west Bay bridges, it is a toll bridge that opened in 1956 connecting Richmond on the east to San Rafael on the west. But don't quote me on that. If I've made an error I'm sure that someone will correct me. :-)

Please visit our friend Louis to see many more bridges from around the world!

Sunday Bridges - Lakeside Park

This bridge led to a very special place in the town where I grew up - a place that I used to think was my secret hiding place. I realize now that it never really was "secret", but as long as I thought it was then that was all that mattered.

Please visit our friend Louis (who I will have the pleasure of meeting in San Francisco today!) to view other bridges from around the world.

Sunday Bridges - Tonto Natural Bridge

On a recent trip north of Phoenix, I visited the Tonto Natural Bridge. This is not the best angle to take a photo of the bridge, but I was with someone who couldn't make the hike down in the canyon for the best angle. It was impressive even from the top of the canyon. Water from a natural spring flows over the side of the bridge. Visit the link to learn more about the development of the state park at this location.

Stars and Stripes

This is a bridge in Indiana that crosses the Patoka River. I took this picture over the Memorial Day holiday on a recent trip to the Midwest. It just seemed like the right day to post this.

Sunday Bridges

This is a night shot of a bridge I cross to take my daughter to school.  The bridge crosses over the Gila River in the West Valley of Phoenix, Arizona.

Sunday Bridges - Leo French Park

This little bridge crosses the lake at the park in the town in Illinois where I grew up. When I was a child and living there it was just an uncovered rather plain looking bridge, but I remember loving to walk across it.
