REDDING, California - The Sundial Bridge
I recently had the pleasure of embarrassing accompanying a budding young basketball star and his dad to a basketball tournament in Redding, California. In between games, we decided to go check out the famous Sundial Bridge, and despite the "humiliation" of being seen in public with his mother's (former) big ol' bodacious bra, the young man got some quality photos, dont'cha think?
Hmmmm, I wonder what it would take to get me up to the
tippy top of that Sundial?...
The Sundial Bridge is a unique pedestrian bridge that crosses the Sacramento River in the heart of Redding, near the Turtle Bay Exploration Park. The 217-foot pylon acts as the sundial, telling time on a tile covered garden border on the north side of the bridge!
I think I can do it...if I just strrrrretch my straps a little more...
and then kinda sling-shot myself across the river...
The Sundial Bridge was designed by world-renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, who says he thinks it "resembles a bird in flight and symbolizes the overcoming of adversity." Kinda like me in about 10 seconds!...I hope! (If you'd like to see some more cool pictures of this bridge, here's a Virtual Tour!)Woo-hoo! Success!

You could invent a whole new sport, and call it bra-sketball, my dear!
Actually, now I think about it, that is a ridiculous idea.
Olga, you look so lovely...
Hi Sugar! Don't I LOOK like I'm having fun?!? (I always am, you know!)

Actually, Lord Likely, I think that's a splendid idea! Wanna play me? ;)

Olga...these are sides of you I've never seen...literally! LOL You look so levely blowing in the breeze...or what ever you were doing there in that 2nd picture.
Kudos to your son for putting up with Olga!
Hi Shinade - Oh I was only in Redding for a few hours...but ya better keep an eye out - who knows WHERE I'll pop up next! ;)
Gee Crusty - I wonder why you're thinking about wet boulders??? Your new avatar is very revealing by the wat...you handsome devil you!
Howdy Drowsey! In the second picture I was psyching myself up to go flinging across the river! Which I did quite gracefully and almost effortlessly, I might add! :)
And yeah, that young guy was a real good sport to put up with ME!
XOXOXOXO

Redding CA was close to the town where I went to HS. (They have the SMALLEST airport...in.the.world.)
Looks like you are having fun.
Reminds me of a double barreled sling shot...Robert's got the right idea!
I remember Redding from when I was a kid growing up in San Mateo.
Hi Meleah - I've flown into that airport before...almost hit a deer on the runway! ACK!
Hi Lee - As a Double Barreled Slingshot, I could very well put yer eye out! ;)
HM - Did you go to Shasta Lake? Or the Shasta Caverns? Hmmm, I think I may need to go back there again!
XOXOXO
