Birds Eye View

Hello everyone it’s Avis.

Recently I was given some aerial shots of the bridge & rock shed that is being built near Limekiln State Park on Hwy 1 in Big Sur. These shots were taken a few weeks ago. Now the gap in the bridge is almost done. I was told that by the end of this week the last section will be done. Amazing what goes into building a bridge.

These three shots were taken by a pilot friend of the job Supervisor. Enjoy!

I also had an amazing opportunity to go up 172 feet into the air by way of crane and basket with camera in hand. Got some unique shots from a perspective not many get to see. I’ll share those soon.

Happy Holidays! ~Avis~

  1. Holy cow!!! Thanks for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving, all! xoxoxoxo

  2. Stunning. I’ve never seen anything like it. And it has the nice mysterious quality of brilliant engineering. That’s gonna be some ride.

  3. Wow! to go up in a crane in a basket! How fun was that? Thanks for the great pics.

  4. Avis, thanks so much for getting and sharing these photos with all our readers. They are just amazing! I got a shot the other sunset (Weds) of the bridge almost completed, with a wrecking ball in the center of the gap. Will try to get it up when internet goddess is in a good mood! (or tomorrow, when town will bring me faster service!)

  5. When is the estimated date of completion and public opening ceremony?

  6. Avis, thanks for the sharing the photos. Very impressive!

  7. Opening scheduled for sometime in 2013
