Open Sesame

This is Veterans Memorial Bridge one of the four bascule draw bridges in our town.A bascule bridge is a moveable bridge with a counterweight that continuously balances a span, or "leaf", throughout its upward swing to provide clearance for boat traffic. Just learned that today!

I like that the color of the boat matches the color of the bridge too! Very nice!

These bridges are so fun to photograph. They are used to cross the Chicago River and join the north and south sides. Such interesting architectural items.
