A Bridge with No Name...
Last week I featured the Sun setting between the two towers of the new bridge(yet un-named) that has replaced the Gerald Desmond Bridge between Long Beach and Terminal Island. I've been wanting to photograph this bridge since I could see it's rising two towers in cityscapes that I've taken over the past several years. I wanted to get a closer view than I'd had the previous week and discovered that the bridge has a pedestrian walkway and bike lane. I'd also located via Google Maps a place that would give me a good shot of the whole bridge just to the south of the bridge. So after work on Sunday, I headed to the first location to park and walk up the bridge hoping to get a shot of the bridge and the Moon. The sign at the entrance said "No Pedestrians", so on to plan B. I had worried that there might not be parking at my second location, but that concern was unfounded. After taking my shots I headed over the new bridge, continuing over the Vincent Thomas bridge to the 110 and home to Glendale.
