Sundial Bridge on the Sacramento RIver

Yesterday I really enjoyed seeing and photographing the Sundial Bridge, a dramatic pedestrian and bike bridge over the Sacramento River in Redding, CA. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, this bridge uses a working sundial gnomon to attach the cable supports. If you are in the area, it is a great place to stop!

The bridge has a number of asymmetrical features, including the truss below the bridge. If you take the trail down to look at it, there’s also a nice pavilion area for gatherings.
