Went down to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge for sunrise

Went down to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge for sunrise

This time facing east instead of west. It was clear enough to see Mt. Rainier, but there was fog too.

Wanted to stay close to home today, so went down to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. It was clear out, except the fog that showed up once I got to Tacoma. Not quite the clear views of the mountain I was hoping for, but it was nice enough.

Sunrise was around 7:44 AM, and I arrived around 6. So I tried some more long exposure car trails.

6:27 AM. That's Venus on the left. 3000x2000

 

6:40 AM. I've walked out on the bridge some and can see the mountain. Most of these pictures will be a variant of this, with different bridge and fog. Venus above the mountain. 3000x2000

 

6:54 AM. It's starting to get some colors. This is the clearest picture of the mountain I got, after this it got foggier. 3000x2000

 

Same as above, but 100% crop. 3000x2000

 

6:56 AM. Here comes the fog. I made it out to the middle of the bridge, too. The walk from the east side seemed shorter. 3000x2000

 

6:59 AM. The fog is constantly changing. I like how the curve of the bridge is almost the same as the mountain. 3000x2000

 

7:08 AM. Last sighting of the mountain, the fog has gotten thicker. 2000x2000

 

7:15 AM. The pre-dawn colors have mostly faded, so I do some bridge details. I like how it disappears into the fog. Went with monochrome. 3000x2000

 

7:20 AM. Nuts and bolts. Big fog bank rolling in. 3000x2000

 

That's it. A few minutes later it got super foggy, so I left. I tried going 15 minutes away to Sunrise Beach Park (my kind of place) but it was fairly foggy still, so I didn't like it. Decided to go home, even though it's mostly sunny out now. Not every day has to be 14 hours.
