I photographed the Soleri Bridge and Plaza in Scottsdale when it first opened in December 2010.  But I wanted to go back and capture it at night to see how this bridge designed to connect to the sun worked with artificial night lighting.  So I headed out to Scottsdale with my camera and tripod to capture the only bridge Paolo Soleri has designed all lit up at night.
