This week's PhotoHunt assignment: BRIDGES.
Portland is chock full of bridges - the Willamette (pronounced 'will-AM-et) River divides the city east and west, and the Columbia River in far north Portland divides Oregon and Washington state.
I took a variety of bridge shots this last week. Some from above, some from underneath! Enjoy! Be sure to click on the photos to enbiggen.
This is taken from the Eastbank Esplanade on the Willamette. I was underneath the freeway (Interstate 5) bridge and shooting the Hawthorne Bridge, which is the one I traverse most frequently.
It goes right downtown; you can see the cityscape in the background.

Under the Morrison Bridge - also on the Willamette, one bridge north of the Hawthorne.
Looking west, that's downtown in the background.

Under the freeway. Such interesting lines and curves. A bit noisy though.

The Burnside and Steele Bridges are behind it.

The red pillars are a floating foot bridge, part of the Esplanade.
Foot bridge in the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden. Much more quiet than the others.

Great perspective to take the pictures from.
All good bridge shot and well presented, very clean-cut. But it is the first picture that I really like.
