Even More Bridge by Jon Celotto Via Flickr: I finally did it! After several failed attempts, I was able to catch P97 arriving before sunset. Ironically, the sun came out from behind a massive cloud about 3 seconds before I took this. Although I wouldve preferred the unit being short hood forward, I cant complain about how this shot turned out.
