I could stay here all night

Taken under the St Johns Bridge on a clear night in Cathedral Park. This has long been one of my favorite spots after work to sit and read, or watch the sun set behind the west hills. I have been photographing this bridge about as long as I have seriously been interested in photography, and as I have learned new cameras or film, this has been one of the first places I tend to test them out. Over the years I have taken hundreds, if not thousands, of shots of this bridge. Different light, different weather, different compositions and perspectives. It has taught me a lot about photography.

This particular spot is pretty cool, if you stand right here and yell, your shout echoes back to you from the underside of the span.

In the Everyone should have a St Johns Bridge photo essay.

This exposure was about 25 minutes Michael. A small drop in the bucket compared to the hours upon hours I have spent under this bridge.
