Sundial Bridge
Posted August 18, 2021, by Michael Taylor

The gateway drug by Michael "Okamifan1" Taylor:

This bridge was the one that got me interestein bridges in the first place. Its design with the sculpture meets function blew me away. One link led to another, and eventually before I knew it I was on Nathan's website learning about the beauty of historic bridges.

This was the gateway drug.
