My favorite bridge over the Ohio River is Huntington's East End bridge. Until a year or two ago, its proper name was the East Huntington Bridge, although some locals refer to it as the East End bridge or the 31st Street bridge. But someone had to rename it the Frank 'Gunner' Gatski Memorial Bridge for a Hall of Fame football player who played his college ball here but who has been forgotten by most of the community because that was so long ago.
The East End bridge was the first cable stay bridge over the Ohio. It's great to photograph at day or night or in rain or fog. Its color changes as the sun moves across the sky. And it's wonderful in black and white, too. About 10 years ago, I got to climb to the top of the bridge.
This is one of my favorite pictures of the East End Bridge.

Ah, that's a nice one. Wouldn't it have been cool if that line in the sky had lined up with the top of the bridge? Would have almost looked like a portal of some kind. (yes, I am a geek. Well, part geek. Geek hybrid. Whatever)
