"MORRISON BRIDGE AT THE CINCO DE MAYO CELEBRATION" by THOM ZEHRFELD
Welcome to my fine art photography site! This is a capture of the Morrison Bridge in Portland, Oregon (PDX) during Cinco De Mayo time. It is traditionally celebrated at the west end of the Morrison Bridge in the Tom McCall Waterfront Park.To the right is the colorful Ferris Wheel that is part of the celebration. The Willamette River is in the foreground! The capture was made at the end of "Blue Hour", just before total darkness. Two other Morrison bridges were built earlier. One in 1887 and, the other in 1905 giving the one built in 1887 historical significance. The 1887 bridge was the first Willamette River crossing bridge in Portland. The current Morrison Bridge is a Chicago-type bascule draw span and, has length of 760 feet. It accommodates six lanes of traffic. Clearance underneath the bridge is adequate for most river traffic. Opening the bridge is only necessary about 30 times per month.
