As promised, another view of the pedestrian bridge that crosses a railroad corridor to link 15th Ave NW with the Amgen campus and the waterfront and pier beyond. The design takes its inspiration from the double helix of DNA chains. I thought the pairing of something usually seen under an electron microscope with the constellation of stars visible above, usually seen best through a telescope, was in interesting pairing of the wonders within and outside ourselves. What a universe! :-). Lots more shots at my Flickr site. You can see many more interesting bridges around the world at Louis la Vache's Sunday Bridge Series here.

What a great picture!
Hmmm. I don't believe I would have ever thought to model a bridge after the double helix. :) It's a nice looking bridge.
That is an awesome pedestrian bridge! And you're right about the wonder of it with the stars.
Very, very different from my pedestrian bridge today. ;)
Great angle, Kim, and nicely executed. That's a tough bridge to photograph.
Gotta see this up close and personal on my next visit!
Great dusk capture of an interesting foot bridge. Love that white against the deep deep blue sky.
Wow that is a great looking bridge.
what an awesome looking pedestrian bridge, and a great inspiration for its design. i love your photo.
A great looking bridge. Perfect for photographing from many angles.
(as your flickr site proved!)
«Louis» would really like to see this bridge. This is a very fine image of it, Kim. Your composition, including the constellation, is exceptional.
«Louis» thanks you for your contribution to Sunday Bridges.

Some architects like DNA. In Australia, they also have a DNA structure.
Is it your DNA? LOL
I love all the blues. Gorgeous photo!
Love this bridge and this is a great shot!
This bridge was design by KPFF consulting engineers. Just an FYI.
