Bridge Observatory

The last day of our road tripping vacation was the ONLY day we had to pay an entrance fee! We had decided to go up in the elevator to the tallest bridge observatory in the world, on the Penobscot Narrows. Bear with me in my obsession!

It was well worth it! What a beautiful structure! And it makes so much sense to use one of the towers as a glassed in viewing platform, giving 360 degree views of the magnificent landscape.

For some reason, I found it quite funny that the second floor on the elevator was 420 feet higher than the first floor.

I had a blast photographing this amazing feat of engineering, and the interesting shadows and intersections cast by the cable stays and railings.



Oh, and here's a pic of the bridge in its entirety, taken from Bucksport
