Christopher P. I’ve done that before. I love walking the bridge in the night. Would have loved to have done this back when this photo was taken. How beautiful it looks now is nothing compared to what it is these days.
Angelo C.  Wouldn’t see that too often these days!!! Awesome photo!!!
Barbara A.N. I would have been too scared to walk it at night. I hope he wasn’t going to take a dive.
