Sundial Bridge

Recently our car club took a trip to see the Sundial Bridge in Redding, California. This is not a comment on the whys, wherefores, or political ramifications of the bridge and the effects on the river or the general population. It is rather an introduction to the beauty of the bridge and its surroundings.

The bridge is a real sundial as can be seen from these next pictures.













This is the shadow crossing the time mark.









This shows the time. If you look closely, you will see that this picture was taken at what would have been 12:45 on June 21. The time varies from day to day due to the changes in the earth's axis as it rotates around the sun.
