Floating Bridge...Seattle, Washington

The pedestrian bridge between Punda and Otrobanda floats. When they need to move it to allow a vessel to pass, it is announced through a combination of lights and audible alarms. They'll detach one side of the bridge, and then swing the other end around to allow the ship through. Sometimes, people get stuck on the bridge if they underestimate how long it will take them to cross after the alarm sounds. In this picture, the bridge has started to be rotated, so it is no longer connected to Punda, shown on the other side of St. Anna Bay.

I grew up in abject poverty. No, wait, genteel poverty. My mother was educated and came from a comfortable background, and she looked forward to moving back to the kind of suburb she'd grown up in. Which she did when I went to college. So now when I come "home," I come to her idea of home instead of my memory of it. I can't complain.

Riding across the floating bridge back to Seattle after a long day of horseback riding, I was treated to this fantastic sunset. I took this picture while riding along.

The world's longest floating bridge crosses the Hood Canal, connecting the Kitsap Peninsula and the Olympic Peninsula.
