I did a photo collection of this pedestrian bridge over the dam at Tempe Town Lake during the day a while ago.  But at night the bridge is something entirely different.  The lighting is really amazing and makes for some great photographs.

I have to add the Tempe Town Lake area (the bridges, beach, Tempe Center for the Arts and parks) as one of my top photography spots in the Phoenix area.  There is so much in such a small area to photograph.  There is architecture in the Hayden Ferry buildings and the Tempe Center for the Arts, incredible night time photography opportunities with the lighting on the buildings and Mill Avenue Bridges, and many great daytime photo worthy subjects as well.  Plus, if you are a portrait photography there are a lot of great settings to photography your subjects.  So all around, Tempe Town Lake is at the top of my great places to photograph in Phoenix.

The photographs in this collection are of the Mill Avenue Bridges taken at sunset and twilight.  Bring a tripod and the North shore of the lake is the best vantage point.
