. . . and that's about all it was, too. The weather has been oscillating rapidly between "too gorgeous to believe," and "gray like so many other gray days." Two days ago, I pulled off of Marine Drive and parked for a minute in a "No Parking At Any Time" zone. It was safe enough and off the street; it seems they didn't want to block the way for a bus or larger vehicle in the space behind some buildings. I usually mind the signs, but today I took the chance to snap a photo of the bridge from the southwest side with the sun on it and the clouds billowing overhead. Within a couple of minutes, the sky was again dark and there was no more sun on the beautiful, green span.I have posted a number of photos of the bridge, and here is one from the other side. The hills in the distance are in Washington, on the other side of the Columbia River.
For a change of view, you can see pictures of the sky from around the world on the Skywatch Friday web site.

I love your photo! What a beautiful surroundings too.
Ah, the flavor of a picture taken in a forbidden area... No sign can stay between us and this wonderful view of this great bridge!
Sheryl, that is a WOW shot! How beautiful! Perfect for Skywatch, but also for Louis la Vache of San Francisco Bay Daily Photo's new Sunday meme on bridge views. Perhaps you have another one to share with us for that, too. Kudos on a spectacular image!

Ooooops, didn't see the MB had already mentioned the Sunday Bridge group. :-) -K.
I love bridges!! Beautiful shot of this one!
A beautiful shot! Our weather has been similar to what you describe...very odd for this early in April for NH where I live.
I've been over that bridge several times. I love to visit Astoria. We used to stop in more often when the airport had a restaurant on the field. A sorry sign of the times. Many of the little cafes aren't making it any more. - Margy
Glorious. That bridge leads us off to the horizon! Breathtaking.

You're living dangerously by the sound of it! It was worth it though, lovely sky and excellent view of the bridge.

I love it! That is a fantastic shot!
