This week's theme was an easy one. After looking through many bridge photos, I ended up going with a local bridge here in Hawaii. I have always known this bridge as the historic Haleiwa Bridge. After doing a little google research, I found out that the actual name of this bridge is the Anahulu Bridge. This white double-arched bridge is also known as the Rainbow Bridge. The Anahulu Bridge, which crosses the Anahulu River, was built in 1921 and is a landmark of the North Shore town of Haleiwa on the island of Oahu. It is a narrow two-lane bridge located at the north end entrance of the town.
For an arial view, check out this photo. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the photo of the bridge.

Those are wonderful photos of the bridge. I can't decide which one I like the best. I love the rainbow in the first one but the color and symmetry of the second one keeps drawing me back. Great selections.

Thanks everyone. I took the first shot from the beach on the other side of the boat harbor. I took the 2nd and 3rd shots from the parking lot area of Haleiwa Joe's Seafood Grill restaurant while waiting for a table.
