The last photo contest featured a picture of the Land Bridge in Vancouver, Washington.

There were many correct answers to the contest. The winner of the $100 prize, drawn at random from the correct answers, is Marlie of Port Angeles.

The Land Bridge, also known as the Confluence Project, is a 40-foot wide, earth covered pedestrian bridge over Highway 14. It is lined with indigenous plants and Native basket weavings. The Land Bridge connects historic Fort Vancouver with the Columbia River waterfront.

This photo of the Welcome Gate to the Land Bridge, marked by an archway of canoe paddles, is courtesy of Judy Bentley.

Judy Bentley wrote a book on the historical role of rivers in the state, Walking Washington’s History: Ten Cities. She also wrote an article, Walking Washington’s Riverfronts for Northwest Prime Time, which appeared on the cover of our June 2018 edition.
