All of these bridges are in Oregon. I took these photos at Lan Su Chinese Garden, Bend Whitewater Park, Yaquina Bay, Petersen Rock Garden & Museum, Cove Palisades State Park, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, and near Cascadia.

How wonderful to have all these bridges in your home state! They are beautiful.
Yes, we are lucky, Egidio. I’m sure every state has their own beautiful bridges in different settings. 😁
Thank you so much for your response to the bridge challenge with these beautiful Oregon bridges. I took a few photos of a some of the Oregon bridges I saw when we were traveling in Oregon. I have one of the Yaquina Bay similar to the one you included in your gallery.
Thanks, Beth! The Yaquina Bay one was especially beautiful. Glad you got to see it too. 😁
Loved your verse Siobhan and your images are beautiful. We’ve been in Oregon more than once and have also driven through it on our way to California but I do not recognize a single bridge except possibly to arched metal one. I may have to revisit!!
Thanks, Tina! There are lots of hidden gems here in Oregon. 🙂
Beautiful and so varied bridges. The Yaquina Bay is stunning.
Thanks, Sofia! Yes, the Yaquina one was an impressive bridge.
Your beginning with a poem really anchors the post, Siobhan! My favorite bridge is that suspension bridge that appears to end at a stone cliff with nowhere else to go. >grin<
Thanks, John! The road takes a sharp turn at the end of that suspension bridge so you won’t crash into the cliffs. 🙂
These are wonderful, I have photos of bridge number 3. Oregon was so beautiful, the coastline is where we mostly drove
Thanks, Ritva! Yes, many people have taken pictures of that beautiful bridge near Newport. 😀
Beautiful collection, I really like the last one!
Thanks so much! 😊
