The Milky Way behind Eagle Rock in Warner Springs. I managed to shoot this photo before the clouds got too thick and totally obscured the Milky Way.

Charles F. O’Neall was the mayor of San Diego, a city of about 40,000 people experiencing growing pains. The new bridge was an instant classic with its elegant Roman arches, a theme echoed on the massive retaining walls on both sides of University Avenue, below the bridge. The bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. Recently Caltrans had determined the bridge was “functionally obsolete and structurally deficient.” Construction of the new bridge began in early 2016 and was completed in 2018. The bridge and walls had to retain their original look, per its historic status and input from North Park residents and orga
