Mercer Slough Bridge & Canal

This week's Scenic Sunday post also includes a bridge specially for Sunday Bridges. It's at the Mercer Slough Park in Bellevue, Washington, where a footbridge crosses the canal.
 Despite the generally flat skies, the view of the canal was still very pretty.
I still have some more shots of this great park, so if you're enjoying these stay tuned! These shots (including the previous post's) were all taken back in May, so that's why everything's so green. I'm so far behind on posting my summer photos it could still take me months to catch up! But I have to save some for the winter, when I don't get as many good shots.

    Love the perspective in this shot, it gives it depth, almost 3 dimensions. Perhaps the best way to see a bridge in a photo.

    Everything is still looking so green, except for the bridge, that is.

    We have a bridge here over the James River that is quite similar to this one. Yours is as attractive as ours. The simplicity is striking. Nice shot. genie
