My last visit to the bridge happened on another rainy day (since we've had so many of those recently), but there were many more people using it that I had previously noticed. I also took note of bicycle traffic, as there are bike lanes on the bridge along with car lanes. I didn't have a full twenty minutes to spend on the bridge, so I decided to focus more closely on some more detailed aspects of the space. I had a sample "tag" printed on paper with me so I could see what they might look like in the space. I was particularly fond of one small area of the bridge at one of its corners. Growing there was a large yellow butterfly bush that was striking against the green and grey colors prevalent on the rest of the bridge. They only took up a small space, relatively, but their bright color had the most impact, especially on a dreary rainy day. Unlike the first rainy day I spent on the bridge, I realized that I could explore the landscaping more without getting my shoes soaked, as I had previously expected. There are bench-like concrete structures and, with the terraced features, they create a sort of path that moves through the green space and provides access to some "sub-spaces" within the overall space. I took notice of many little nooks that I hadn't known were there before, which would be perfect spaces for placing augmented reality tags.
