View of the causeway section of the Bryant Patton Bridge facing north toward the mainland's Cat Point just north of Saint George Island. To the left is the shallow Apalachicola Bay, to the right Saint George Sound. The turbulence of the bay compared to the mirror-like sound is a textbook example of the ability of a prevailing wind to counteract the expected currents and tides of a broad expanse of shallow water.
It is also a killer spot to watch immense pelicans hang endlessly on the daytime updrafts.
