Sunshine Skyway Bridge

This photo was taken from the crest of the bridge as you go North on I-275.  In the far distance is St. Petersburg and on the left is the Gulf of Mexico and on the right is Tampa Bay.

Looking back from the end of the North pier you see the pier on the left and bridge on the right.

When shooting back, South, on the pier you can see the bridge and pier as they run out into the Gulf.

A closer view of the pier with noonday traffic over to Manatee.  The bridge does have a lot of traffic for it is the only link from Pinellas County to Manatee County and all points South.

On the North pier heading South toward the end of the pier gives a feel for the beauty of bridge in the glaring sun.

At the crest of the bridge you can see the main supports for the bridge with the spotted painting done to prevent rust accumulation.
