The Sundial Bridge in Redding

| No Comments

We visited Redding last weekend, for a stay at the Gaia Hotel in Anderson. Please visit my other blog, Foolery, to read about that.

Here are some photos of the Sundial Bridge, Redding's most prominent feature these days and one of the architectural and engineering jewels of Northern California. If you haven't seen this bridge in person, try to get here. It's truly spectacular.

Santiago Calatrava, the designer of the Sundial Bridge, has given Redding quite a gift in this bridge. Please come see it.
