Twilight in Tacoma


This is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.  The original Narrows Bridge is actually in the ocean underneath this one I'm driving across.  It was built in July 1940 but collapsed in November 1940.  The one I'm driving across was built in 1950.  The bridge on the left side is the new Narrows Bridge.  They finished building that one in 2007 and it has been a god-send!  There's a toll when you go across that side though (toward Tacoma).  The direction I'm driving in is toward Gig Harbor, which is where I live :)  So yeah, I have to pay a toll every time I cross the bridge to go to work.  It's not much - I think I pay about $60 a month (about 41 Euro).
