Restraint No. 7 - Return Path, 8X10

Description

This is a detail image of a bridge in Redding, CA. The graceful curve and soft pastel light gives this image an otherworldly feeling that sticks with you. It's almost as though this is a bridge into another reality.

Dean was in town to photograph the Shasta County Municipal Building and was told of the Sundial Bridge and how wonderful it was. He took this with a grain of salt because he didn't expect anything truly spectacular in such an out-of-the-way place.

Dean was very pleasantly surprised to find one of the world's great engineering achievements spanning the Sacramento River. Santiago Calatrava is without a doubt a brilliant engineer and has created not only a wonderful bridge but a true work of art.

The strength and power of the design is incredible and will stand out as one of humanity's greatest achievements in both engineering and art. Dean is still surprised to find it in Redding, CA.

Dean shot this image as he was returning to his hotel to catch some more sleep after doing a series of dawn shots. The title is symbolic of the act and because he was returning to the mundane world in we share our daily experience from the reality of wonder in which he had spent the morning. Dean fondly remembers the cool morning air, birds singing and warm sunlight of that sunrise every time he sees this image.
