Wow. What a wonderful construction! Hard to believe that such a complex structure is necessary for the weight of pedestrians... but is makes for a great image.

PS. Just read the other comments and understand now!

Thanks Roger, I'm glad we're getting there, being new around here and all. I'm sure we'll be reviewing each other's stuff in that I am a great fan of asian art. We'll talk about that someday,
Gary

Ah, yes I do see. That makes a weird kind of sense! I still think you did a great job of framing that photo... I think I'll add you to my list of friends, because you obviously have a lot of good stuff to upload, both old and new.

The attachment didn't make it, Gary. (Thanks for the thought and the explanation.) Usefilm is a bit unfriendly over attachments--exceed the pixel limit of 500 or the size limit of 120k and it will just not appear. No error message. The only way you can check is to use the "preview" mode. You still won't see the picture, but if it WOULD be uploaded you see the little graphic sign. Hope this helps.

One more thing Roger, I agree the architecture looks a bit like over kill and there's some history behind that. This whole area was an amusement park until about the mid 1940s, called the Pike. Recent redevelopment of the area included the "Pike" theme and viewed from the side (attached), this overpass looks like a roller coaster. If you're a TV fan of the Long Beach Grande Prix, the street below is part of the track and this structure can be seen every April when the event is televised.

All that superstructure for an overpass? A real architectural extravaganza! But you've made it into a real picture. I ike it--the perspective, the colour contrasts and the strong composition, which I begin to recognize as one of your trademarks. Good training with the Crown Graphic, I guess!
