I have the good fortune to go to Penobscot Bay in the Gulf of Maine every summer. In the past two years they have been building a new bridge to replace the old one. It was completed this past summer. They put on quite a show to open it. It’s total length is almost half a mile and when you get up onto the observatory you are 42 stories in the air. Only two of these cable-stayed bridges exist in the US.
For the table I used the basis of the bridge as the legs and on top I imported a picture that we took when we were in the observatory and put that underneath what would be a plane of glass.
The Bridge
the legs
Another Shot of the legs
the top
just an overview
I hope you like it

Very nice. The cable stay inspiration adds a great detail.

Neat. Is perchance, the other cable stay bridge in Boston – It reminds me of the fairly new Zacum (sp?) bridge.

Great bridge table. I liked the way you incorporated the leg supports. Very clever.
