Out in the wilds of west Marin we have one bridge in particular that has been sprayed and brushed with a lot of paint over the years. The 130' concrete span was built in the 1930's and is on Pt.Reyes Station to Petaluma Road, crossing Nicasio Creek below Nicasio Reservoir Dam. Platform Bridge Road branches west. Thousands of cars cross this narrow bridge each day.

The bridge is now in an arty pleasant state in its long and colorful history of being sprayed and slathered with paint.

For now… the theme of this painted bridge in west Marin County seems to be about peace and harmony with our streams, trees, and air. The way our impact on the land and environment is supposed to be.
