17th STREET BRIDGE
This is the 17th Street Bridge from a little different perspective;underneath. This is the last bridge in Fort Lauderdale as you are heading out to sea. It is relatively new and replaces the old bridge. This one is considerably higher, and as such, doesn't have to open nearly as often as the old one. Something that is greatly appreciated by people like me who used to have to cross it 6 or 8 times a day.Sunday Bridges

An unexpected perspective! Great shot and «Louis» has linked it!
ReplyDeleteYou found the right angle to make this bridge even more impressive. 6 or 8 times a day? Let's call it B Squared bridge...
ReplyDeleteWow impressive from this angle. MB
ReplyDeleteImpressive from below, it looks like a huge robot coming towards you.
ReplyDeleteIt does look sturdy and quite high. When I was a little kid, I remember having to wait for a bridge to close so we could cross. Not good if you're in a hurry!
ReplyDeleteWow, B Squared, you did a lot of driving back in the day.
ReplyDeletevery interesting perspective -- it could be two robots -- giant ones at that!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great meme; I've been seeing many entries this morning. Yours is a very sturdy-looking bridge!
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate the convenience of such a bridge as well. I like your look at it's underside. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a heck of a strong, tough bridge!
ReplyDeleteI find shots of bridges from this perspective to be quite interesting also. This one is soooo white too.
ReplyDeleteloved the 1st image!
ReplyDeleteA perspective from underneath we rarely see. The lines, edges and right angles are interesting to view.
ReplyDeleteThe bridge had needed replacing for a long time...with so much boat traffic. This is a cool shot of the new one. I'm sure most people are quite happy at not having to wait for those slow, slow sailboats!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to watch bridges open for ships but not if one is in the traffic waiting! Nice bridge.
ReplyDeleteI like that view. It's interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt also seems, at the same time, a little provocative.
It does look like a strong bridge, not like the one I have up today!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very unusal looking bridge. It could just be the angle but it has a futuristic look. imo
ReplyDeleteThat is a study-looking bridge!
ReplyDeleteGreat angle! The bridge looks like something from Star Wars ;D
ReplyDeleteIt opens? Oh for boats, duh.
ReplyDeleteVery powerful! Great perspective!
ReplyDeleteImpresive architecture, I liked a lot the angle in this shot.Where you inside some boat?

interesting shot.
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall having dinner at a restaurant looking out on that bridge ... 16th or 17th Street Fishery?
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a massive bridge. It looks in very good shape compared to the bridges in the Northeast.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent and interesting angle, allow to view the structure and its detail.
ReplyDeleteAlways so interesting to see bridges from a different angle
