Raised Sidewalk

The sidewalk of the Montlake lift bridge strikes a jaunty angle as the span is raised for marine traffic.

I was the first car to be snared by the opening, so I popped out for some photography during the wait. A few others followed the example. When the span was being lowered back into place, other motorists rushed back to their cars. "No need to rush," I called out, "as you'll be waiting for me anyway!"
