No other path, no other way, no day but today.
It took a nasty climb through blackberries and poison oak to get this view of my favorite bridge. Portland's St. John's bridge has always seemed like a gateway to a fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty's castle, the entrance to Camelot--bridges in general are beautiful creations, symbols of overcoming barriers, making connections, joining things together--architecture's most optimistic gesture. The beauty of this bridge is a tribute to the leaders of that time, who had the vision to create something more than just a utilitarian span--it's a piece of art and is magically uplifting to many.
