Skywatch Friday: Ship Canal Bridge Silhouette


Skywatch Friday: Ship Canal Bridge Silhouette
Photo & Text Copyright 2009 Seattle Daily Photo. All rights reserved, including reproduction or republishing.
A freeway runs over it. A very long freeway. Sometimes a very slow freeway. I was standing on the University Bridge when I took this sunset shot of the nearby taller I-5 Ship Canal Bridge with it's streams of north-south traffic. To see this enormous span under construction in 1960, check out these photos from Seattle's Municipal Archives Flickr page. The Interstate 5 Freeway stretches from the Mexican border through California, up through Oregon and Washington to the Canadian Border. See more skies aroung the globe at Skywatch!
