Photo Session: Overpass at Boulevard Park

Bellingham has an endless number of structures I love, and by now you know I love photographing them! I’ve admired the Overpass at Boulevard Park since the first time I ascended its 72 steps, back in June of ‘02. Today I spent a few minutes enjoying the Overpass and shooting the photos below. I could’ve easily stayed all day!

Functionally, the Overpass will get you on foot from Boulevard Street  across the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad tracks and into Boulevard Park. (You can say you crossed Warren Buffet’s property!)

Aesthetically, if you’re drawn to busy, rectilinear architecture in a stunning, waterfront setting amidst contrasting, chaotic lines of winter-barren trees and twisting vines, underlain by a perfectly parallel railway arcing infinitely onward… then check out the Overpass.

Or if you love a good grunt and want to run repeats up 9 flights of stairs for a killer workout, check out the Overpass.

Enjoy the Photos!
