Crossing over to the other side.

Only two people at a time were allowed to walk along this worn down bridge. There was a line of at least 20 anxious tourists on either side, each impatiently waiting for their turn.

- Point Bonita Lighthouse, CA

In the To the Lighthouse photo essay.

Kiwi ana gave props (25 Jun 2008):
Someone used the word tension, I think it really encapsulates this image, Portia. It's the energy in the waves, the brightness in the light from the couds but the darkness in the horizon. It feels like a walk of fear for safety and the destination is safety central. Well done
