Shadow Shots - Basket Bridge

Basket Bridge in Tucson is for pedestrians and cyclists to safely cross over Euclid Avenue south of Broadway Blvd. The steel bridge represents coiled Tohono O'odham basketry and is adorned with stylized lizards and coyote tracks.



Basket Bridge is a great place to find shadows! If you enjoy light and shadow like I do, visit Shadow Shot Sunday at Hey Harriet and see all kinds of shadows.

    That is a unique and artistic walkway bridge, Diane. Your shadow shots are beautiful too.

    Fantastic. I've been following some of the LinkWithin links and have found so much more that I had not seen. Tucson is full of urban art. The griffin in awesome.

    The footbridge looks stunning in its painted desert hues. The web of shadows is amazing, a spider's web of sun induced shadows. The look and lovely winter heat of the Southwest give us Northerners reason for hope as we will see longer shadows soon...

    Reading a few of yours on shadow, I start to wonder whether all shadows are black.

    I love the way highways and bridges have been decorated with desert plants and animals in Arizona and this bridge is just marvelous! What wonderful shadows you captured and shared here. Thanks so much ;-)

    This weekend I'm sharing a mosaic of shadowy photos that I took in Hemet, CA on Christmas Eve. Happy Shadow Shot Sunday!
