Linking the states

I-5 bridges linking Portland, OR to Vancouver, WA, spanning the Columbia River. I had never seen the bridges from this perspective and I thought it would lend itself well to a pano. It worked and I liked the monochrome version better. Added a little nostalgia I thought. :-)

    Having driven this bridge many times, it's cool to see it from this perspective. And yes, I like the monochrome version best!

    Yes, very nice panorama! The lift bridges look great in monochrome, very industrial!

    Impressive bridge : the way you took the picture gives such a sensation of gigantism...

    I like the patterns in the bridge - so is the border in the middle of the river and is that where the bridge changes design?

    Love the panoramic view of the bridge, and it turned out beautifully in black and white. You have given up a wonderful landscape to study.

    Love the black and white -it gives such a typical expression of our time (looking from a historical viewpoint) -this is a keeper!

    I love what you have done. It's like a cross between the old time and the modern.
