That's My World: The Fish Bridge of La Conner

Highway 20 in Washington State can take you to lots of interesting places. On Sunday I shared a trip to a town with the unlikely name of Concrete. Today, let's turn west on Highway 20 to historic La Conner on Swinomish Channel.

The Fish Bridge is part of the La Conner Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit. It runs from November 2008 to November 2009 and includes sixteen sculptures, seven of which are part of the town collection.

The remaining sculptures are on loan from artists around the Pacific Northwest. These are for sale at the conclusion of the exhibit, with the proceeds funding additional art for the city.

The Fish Bridge, by local artist Ries Niemi, serves as the gangway to a public dock on First Street. Here's the guide for the sculpture Walking Tour. Head on over to La Conner, there's lots more to see.
