Dawn and the sky is just starting to lighten a little. I had to pack it in and head to work about the time the whole sky started turning red. Two shot pano merged in Lightroom.

El puente de Tacoma Narrows son un par de puentes colgantes de 1600 metros de longitud con una distancia entre soportes de 850 m (el tercero más grande del mundo en la época en que fue construido). El puente es parte de la carretera Washington State Route 16 en su paso a través de Tacoma Narrows de Puget Sound desde Tacoma a Gig Harbor (Estados Unidos). La primera versión de este puente, apodado Galloping Gertie, fue diseñado por Clark Eldridge y modificado por Leon Moisseiff. En 1940, el puente se hizo famoso por su dramático colapso estructural inducido por el viento, evento que quedó registrado en una filmación. El puente de reemplazo se inauguró en 1950.

El puente fue rediseñado y reconstruido utilizando una estructura de entramado abierto, además de elementos de apoyo para aumentar la rigidez. Esto permitió el paso del viento por el puente. El nuevo puente fue inaugurado el 14 de octubre de 1950, y tiene una longitud de 5.979 pies (1822 m) —40 pies (12 m) más largo que su predecesor—. Es actualmente el quinto puente en suspensión más largo de los Estados Unidos. Los habitantes locales apodaron el nuevo puente Sturdy Gertie, ya que las oscilaciones que acabaron con el anterior han sido eliminadas en éste.
Nuevo Puente de Tacoma Narrows.
Con esta experiencia se cambió el método de construcción de puentes, haciéndolos más aerodinámicos y reduciendo su esbeltez, para disminuir el efecto del viento.
Notched out with nine cars, the hill job leaves downtown Tacoma in its wake as they charge up hill with their second cut of cars.
On the Tacoma Narrows twin suspension bridges.

This bridge has a fascinating history, including collapse just months after it opened. If interested see the Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_Narrows_Bridge
Don't miss the 1940 video of the collapse, it's quite amazing.

A compact view of Tacoma, WA's, downtown district. It's been cleaned up a lot over the years, and the last rays of warm, winter air seemed to do it justice. It was a fun one to shoot with the 100-400 S lens, TC 1.4, and Hoya HD3 polarizer. I didn't really need the TC, but it was already on there for even tighter views. This view is from the 34th St Bridge near Pacific Avenue, but beware, the bridge vibrates like crazy with passing traffic and wind. I definitely shot more than one.
A week later, I was shooting there with my buddy, Bruce Ikenberry, and we did some night time exposures. Check our his Photostream here:

With matching switch targets Tacoma Rail yard switchers shuffle racks around in the typical PNW spring weather
Enjoying a quiet evening at Tacoma rail's yard in the Port of Tacoma. The great Mount Rainier stands tall in the late evening sunlight.
While at Point Defiance’s 5-Mile Drive I stopped at a viewpoint overlooking the Puget Sound. Included in the view is a lone boat and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, also known as Galloping Gurtie. The original bridge fell in high winds and these twin bridges do close when winds get too high.
