The Yaquina Bay Bridge is an arch bridge that spans Yaquina Bay south of Newport, Oregon. It is one of the most recognizable of the U.S. Route 101 bridges designed by Conde McCullough. The bridge opened on September 6, 1936, at a cost of $1,301,016. A total of 220 people worked to pour 30,000 cubic yards (23,000 m³) of concrete and fabricate 3,100 tons of steel. The main span is flanked by identical 350 ft (107 m) steel arches. The rest of the structure is constructed of reinforced concrete. One concrete deck girder forms the northern approach, and a series of 5 arches makes up the southern part of the bridge.

A good shot, nice angle and clarity.
Although most of the colours here are a bit washed out the sky is lovely.
The shot does show off the bridge well.

Hey, great photo. It almost looks like it's been enhanced on photoshop because of the dreamy effect it gives!

I think it does have a painted or early morning effect on the viewer, but it certainly is easy on the eye and the narrative was most informative!
