In The Shadow

The Bay Bridge is another structure I am particularly fond of. I started photographing it at night a few years ago and wanted to spend some time during my last trip home capturing some lasting images of it. The views of this bridge are striking when it is lit up at night. Often, The Bay Bridge lives in the shadow of the mighty Golden Gate Bridge. However, I find it to be equally symbolic and iconic to the San Francisco Bay as its sister is to the west. The eastern span of The Bay Bridge is under construction and its replacement is scheduled to open to traffic during Labor Day weekend, 2013, at an estimated 6.3 billion dollars. The new span will no doubt offer breathtaking views from Oakland when it is finished.
