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!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I don't believe I would have ever thought to model a bridge after the double helix. :) It's a nice looking bridge.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome pedestrian bridge! And you're right about the wonder of it with the stars.
ReplyDeleteVery, very different from my pedestrian bridge today. ;)
Great angle, Kim, and nicely executed. That's a tough bridge to photograph.
ReplyDeleteGotta see this up close and personal on my next visit!

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