Considering that I hadn't even heard of a place called Redding before we planned this trip, I was not expecting to see this fabulous park and even more spectacular bridge in this place.
 |
| The Sundial Bridge - a cable-stayed bridge (pulls the bridge up to keep it in place.) |
 |
| Seen from the bottom - quite spectacular. |
 |
| The bridge is across the Sacramento River |
 |
| The park itself is beautiful, lots of botanical specimens, and a good place to walk, talk, sit, spend an evening. |
 |
| A little library, you're free to read books from here and return it. If you want to take a book for yourself, you must replace it with a book of your own. |
 |
| And of course the kids wanted to read (even though the books were far below her reading level - books are books, and should be read, you see) |
We came back to the park two times, once at night, after a leisurely dinner at the vacation rental. We walked under the Sundial bridge this time, and it so happened that the latest Pokémon had just been released that day. We didn't know it, but we saw these massive groups of teenagers gathered there, 10 pm at night, intently looking at their phones. We only understood later on what was happening and we tried to catch some Pokémon too (I hope I've said that right, I'm hopelessly behind the times.)
Anyway, the bridge looked quite beautiful lit at night, viewed from underneath it.
