High Tide

It is sunrise and high tide at the Bridge over Ship Creek.

Actually you can see two bridges. The rust colored building/bridge is the Bridge Restaurant over Ship Creek. The highway bridge is over the restaurant and Ship Creek.

The body of water you see in the foreground is actually Ship Creek during high tide. As the tide rises it backfills the creek close to the Cook Inlet and the water rises substantially.

Around Anchorage the tide level can fluctuate as much as 30 feet. Want to know More about Alaska tides?
