REDDING, California - The Sundial Bridge

I recently had the pleasure of embarrassing accompanying a budding young basketball star and his dad to a basketball tournament in Redding, California. In between games, we decided to go check out the famous Sundial Bridge, and despite the "humiliation" of being seen in public with his mother's (former) big ol' bodacious bra, the young man got some quality photos, dont'cha think?

Hmmmm, I wonder what it would take to get me up to the

tippy top of that Sundial?...

The Sundial Bridge is a unique pedestrian bridge that crosses the Sacramento River in the heart of Redding, near the Turtle Bay Exploration Park. The 217-foot pylon acts as the sundial, telling time on a tile covered garden border on the north side of the bridge!

I think I can do it...if I just strrrrretch my straps a little more...

and then kinda sling-shot myself across the river...

The Sundial Bridge was designed by world-renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, who says he thinks it "resembles a bird in flight and symbolizes the overcoming of adversity." Kinda like me in about 10 seconds!...I hope! (If you'd like to see some more cool pictures of this bridge, here's a Virtual Tour!)

Woo-hoo! Success!
