World Bridge Art

This is the Alsea Bay Bridge. It spans the Alsea Bay (River) in the town of Waldport, Oregon. The bridge is a short distance from the Pacific Ocean and, is located on the Central Oregon Coast...20 miles south of Newport.

The bridge was originally built in the 1930's in the Art Deco style. Since, the bridge has been rebuilt but, still retains some of the same Art Deco styling at both ends of the bridge.

Fishing, clamming and crabbing are popular recreational activities in Waldport. The population is around 2000 folks. This image has been converted to a digital painting!

Bridges Of The World

The Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport on the Oregon Coast is one of the most recognizable bridges in Oregon. It was designed by Conde McCullough and built in the art deco style in 1936.

Mr. McCullough was an American bridge engineer who is famous for designing many of Oregon's coastal bridges on U.S. Route 101. This capture was made early in the morning during the winter where the sun rises in the southeast. There is a orange tinge around parts of the bridge from the sunrise.

In the background is Yaquina Bay and South Beach. You can also make out a pier that juts half way across the Bay...look under the main arch of the bridge. Folks fish and crab from this pier with excellent results.

In the background is the Coast Range. The flat top mountain is Mary's Peak and is some 45 miles away. This magnificent bridge surely qualifies as one of the "Bridges of the World"!

Historic Patterson Bridge - Gold Beach

The Historic Patterson Bridge is located in Gold Beach on the Southern Oregon Coast, and the Pacific Northwest. It is named after Isaac (Ike) Patterson, the 18th Governor of Oregon from 1927 to 1929.

He died from Pneumonia, while in office in December of 1929. The Patterson Bridge was completed in 1932. It was constructed in the Art Deco Motif. This is obvious in the details of the bridge.

The sun is starting to set in the Pacific and is casting a golden hue on the bridge. The moon is present in the capture. The seagulls (Western Gulls) are gathered on the grass waiting for handouts.

The bridge is located on the famous Rogue River. The Patterson Bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 2005.

The image was converted to High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR) through special software.
