There is a round-shaped overbridge at Como Beach allowing pedestrians and cyclists to get across the Kwinana Freeway. It is connected to the Preston Street. The bridge is about one and a half stories tall and it is a good place to watch the sunset and view the scenery of the Como Beach.

I find the architecture of this bridge is full of artistic lines, I have written about it a year ago about this type of bridge found at Albany Highway (Cannington). This visit to Perth, I found at least another 4 or 5 round-shaped overbridges.

In the evening, when the sky is dark and the lights are switched on, it looks even more artistic.

Compared to the previous overbridge I found, this overbridge is bigger with a staircase in its middle. The staircase is for pedestrians because the circle is a long way to walk. SiewPeng and I have tried to walk on the circle, and it is really a bigger round.

Look at this picture, the freeway is just next to the beach. There is a big contrast just about 30 meters away (estimated). At one end I could see the busy road whereas the other end is the quiet beach with beautiful sunset in the evening.

I like to watch the cars and train passing by on the freeway but I did not stand too closed to the border and I make sure nothing was dropped especially my camera lens cap to the freeway with car rushing at 100 km/h.

This is the shape of the overbridge.

On the bridge, looking towards Preston Street.
Before we left, the sky has turned dark, we saw a young man with his small compact camera mounted on a tripod, taking the night scene. I remember I did that before too somewhere else in my hometown, my old camera was smaller than his camera, but my tripod was bigger than his tripod. Does this combination look strange?
We walked pass him quietly, and he might not have noticed us.
