This is the new Gerald Desmond bridge that I've posted pictures of before. I converted this shot to high-contrast black-and-white, which gives it a very 1930s vibe—though I'm not sure why. Someone with better knowledge of the grammar of design might be able to explain it.
seems to have some art deco design elements
That was my first reaction, too. Great photo, Kevin.
I think it's because it's evocative of Joseph Stella's Brooklyn Bridge paintings.
There were a lot of sharp and clear black and white photos of structures like this in the 30s and 40s and the small cars in the distance easily give the impression they could be from that era.
IIRC Margaret Bourke-White's industrial photos come to mind.
Does Elon know somebody tied down one of his rockets?
Because you've seen clips of Fritz Lang's Metropolis too many times.
Love it.
It looks a little like the old RKO movies logo, one of the big studios in the 30s.
To any structural engoneer that looks like a modern bridge, regardless of filters or view.
Its a cable-stay bridge. First one biilt was in Tamoa in the 90's. Since then there have easily been 100+ bridges vuolt with the cable-stay design.
A cable-stay bridge is defined by large continuous cables bearing ir integrated into a large pylon (the concrete structure). The "stays" are located at the end of the cables and support the deck ofnthe bridge.

Reminds me of Charles Sheeler
