Swan Song

Here's another hand held night shot from Songhees Point, the Johnson Street Bridge, looking apocalyptic in this light. I don't know when it's slated for demolition but every time I see it I expect it to be the last. (Like yesterday's photo the photo above was shot at ISO 6400 but the shutter speed on this was 1/30. These night shots (last 3 posts) were taken with my Sony Alpha 55 DSLT using a Minolta 50 mm 1.7 lens at f2.)

    That's a cool shot and I'm so sad it's gonna be demolished.

    Removing the railway portion is supposed to begin soon, before Christmas. The roadway portion, I'm not sure. It's possible it will continue in use while the new bridge construction begins, if it is offset/parallel to it.
