The Sundial Bridge, completed in 2004, is located in my hometown of Redding California. Strangely, I always thought this town a bit simple, so this bridge was a pleasant surprise. To see complete photos of the bridge you can do a google image search. I have seen dozens of photos of this bridge, but wanted to take one that shows off a different side. This is taken directly underneath the supporting spire. It reminds me of a harp. World renowned Spanish architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava conceived the Sundial Bridge's unusual design, his first free-standing bridge in the United States. Calatrava has built bridges, airports, rail terminals, stadiums, and other structures around the world. This bridge is gorgeous at night as the translucent walk panels are lit from below!
