If this pano looks a little low, it's because the GigaPan blurred all the top-row images despite the use of the 2-sec self-timer. Let me know if anyone has a fix for this.

The Lafayette Bridge was constructed in 1968 using the standard design, detailing and fabrication methods of the late 1960’s. Like many bridges of that era, it has developed a history of structural steel fatigue problems that may not pose an immediate safety risk, but still requires the constant attention of Mn/DOT’s bridge inspectors. The Lafayette Bridge, a part of Hwy. 52 that carries 81,000 vehicles a day and spans the Mississippi River near downtown St. Paul, is the state's most-traveled bridge with troubles similar to the I-35W bridge. Like that bridge, the Lafayette is "fracture-critical," meaning that if one part fails the whole bridge could fall. |

This 140° panorama rounds out my panos of the St. Anthony Falls area of the Mississippi River. It shows the Stone Arch Bridge, the University of Minnesota's Streamlab water research facility, a power plant and some grain elevators. It was taken from the Guthrie Theater's "Endless Bridge," a huge cantilevered balcony.

These boats are used to move barges up and down the Mississippi river. |

This is a pan taken at Lock and Dam #14 on the Mississippi while a crowd gathered to shoot Bald Eagles. There were 80 shots taken by a Canon G10 at full zoom (90mm) Explore the shot and you might find an eagle here or there. You will definately find a flock of pelicans migrating through the scene |

The Robert Street Bridge is a reinforced concrete multiple-arch bridge that spans the Mississippi River in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota with the St. Paul Union Pacific Vertical-lift Rail Bridge crossing underneath it at an angle. It was built in 1924-1926 and was commissioned in the early 1920s to replace a wrought-iron span, originally built in 1884-1885, that had become obsolete due to increasing traffic. The engineers who designed the bridge had several obstacles to work around. The tracks of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway, St. Paul Union Depot, and the Chicago Great Western Railway mainline were factors. The engineers also had to provide adequate clearance above the river, as defined by the United States War Department at the time. Finally, the bridge had to clear Second Street in downtown St. Paul and work through a busy manufacturing district at the south end. The location of nearly every pier was dictated by these requirements. As a result, the bridge was designed with a combination of barrel-arch and rib-arch flanking spans and a rainbow arch for the central span. |
