This Iowa bridge trail has a remarkable nighttime lighting effect

Trestle Bridge, Madrid IA Amazing drone footage.

The High Trestle Trail Bridge in Madrid, Iowa is quite lovely by day, but at night it’s even cooler, when a lighting effect makes a bike ride a futuristic journey into a vortex.

Via Atlas Obscura:

Both the trail and the bridge started out carrying freight for the Union Pacific Railroad, but when the trains stopped running, a combination of donations, grants, and public support helped turn the ribbon of rails into a multi-county path for hikers, bikers, and horseback riders. The bridge, a spectacular feat of engineering, connects the trail, encircled at its center by an art installation of raw steel and ambient lights.

Looks like riding a bike through a real-life version of Tempest:
