Art From Another Dimension: Bridge In The Mist

The photographs were taken in a brief span of time on a sometime sunny, but mainly cloudy morning on or near the Riverwalk along the Columbia River in Astoria. The impulses of the weather continually rearranged the clouds allowing spectacular lighting effects to appear briefly and unexpectedly. The bridge and of course the river are what attracted me this morning. The bridge caught my attention the first time I saw it stretching four miles like a giant serpent uncoiled across the great river. In the mist it disappears halfway to the other side. It offers a photographer a lot of opportunity drizzle or shine. Today the sporadic bright sun and moisture thick air produce startling effects. The entire ‘feeling’ can change with the time required to take a few steps to for another picture. This morning elements of air, water vapor and sunlight with the motion of clouds and wind add their dimensions capriciously. The ‘Great River’ of the west is the place that greets the great ships of the sea. For now they float, unmoving, tethered at low tide. Below are some of the pictures I took which did not make it into the final cut for the video.
