ेThe shadow and the bridge

This is actually a photo from 2005, the bridge is almost finished now. I used to have to walk up 18 stories worth of stairs. My legs would be like jello at the top. You might be thinking to yourself, "why walk to the top when you are doing piledriving work?" The answer is that the view is breathtaking and endless. You can see for miles and mile. The easy arc of the Sacramento river heading back into the distance, the wheat colored hills, and the peak of Mount Diablo to the South East. The shimmering bay looks like finely woven green silk, waving in green ripples. The achingly clear sky is enough to bring tears to your eyes.
