Bridge #5 warning lights

After the powermove went past, Bridge #5 raises for the last time, as this was the end of the game. Note the flashing red lights. These were installed sometime in 2007 to warn boats on the Elizabeth River at night when the bridge is hard to see that its raising or lowering. I guess the upload kinda messed up, since there were some pauses with the flashing. The lights flash about once a second, and it makes it easy for me to tell whether or not its lowering. In the old days, I would stare at it for a long period of time, and after a while, I would start to "hallucinate" and think that it was going down, but when I blinked it wasn't, causing me mass disappointment.

*The song playing during the clip is "Spirit In The Sky" by Norman Greenbaum, which is very fitting, because the bridge looks like it's reaching for the sky* :)
