This past weekend I had the idea to take my 10mm wide angle lens and attempt to capture the Veterans’ Memorial, located on the west side of the new bridge, from the lowest point possible: on my back upon the sidewalk. The skies were somewhat dramatic as the sun tried to punch through the morning clouds. Not bad, I thought…not bad.

Then came the blue skies, and I was out & about anyway, so I figured it was worth it to take another hike up the curved sidewalk and try again, this time with some bright blue skies, the brilliant sun, and the lens flares it brings. Once again…not bad.

Soon the Bismarck side of the bridge will have its memorial completed as well. Then there’s going to be a surprise added to each park! I wonder how many people know what it is. I may have a sneak peek photo tomorrow.
