Bridge really rocks when the big trucks roll by.

Thankfully, Roger, the 1000 Islands Bridge was built correctly and has stood for 70 years without such a problem. ; In fact, it's a good thing it moves or it would suffer the save fate as the Tacoma bridge. ; Those engineers blew it. (pun intended)

PM, it's the first sun I've seen in two weeks. ; Back to rain today...sigh.

Here's the span from different angles to give you an idea of the scale of the bridge.

Now that my blog article has been posted I can show you the panoramic I did. ; This was done hand held because putting a tripod on a moving bridge would not have been of much help. ; I waited for a break in the traffic and fired off four exposures with about 20-25% overlap. ; The software had no trouble stitching them together though I should have straightened it a bit.
