The Rogue River Bridge, officially but awkwardly named the Isaac Lee Patterson Bridge, is a real beauty.  Built in 1931, it's supported by seven concrete arches that span the Rogue River near its mouth.

I usually stop for a picture of the Mary D. Hume when I'm driving up the coast.  She's a steamer that was built in the nineteenth century for hauling cargo between Gold Beach and San Francisco.  She's been a sunken wreck in the river for thirty years.  I like picking up the bridge in the background, so I have a number of shots from a similar angle from various drives over the last few years.
