Chicago's Franklin Street Bridge: I - a photo on Flickriver

When I saw this photo and I got super excited, it was then that I realized that I'm a total geek for Chicago. Here we have a photo of a bridge. Just another bridge. But it's such a beautiful simple bridge flanked by its sturdy tower.

The curves of the bridge are really quite beautiful. I gotta get on the ground and shoot this bridge sometime. (This was shot up in the Merchandise Mart). Wikipedia says, "The bridge is an example of a trunnion bascule bridge, with each half of the roadway is cantilevered out from shore abutments."

Dude, and it's the freakin bridge from the 2005 Batman film. It connected the Narrows and Gotham City. The side of the bridge we see in this photo would be the Gotham City side. Ok, so maybe this wasn't such a normal bridge after all.
