Bridge 9-27-2012
Positioning a wide-angle lens right in the middle of a vintage railroad bridge reveals intricate symmetry you might miss from the approach path. I lined up this shot to place the midday sun directly behind the top steel girders, turning harsh overhead glare into a clean, balanced starburst. The long pedestrian path stretches forward, emphasizing the scale of the heavy industrial structure.
Dark brown iron beams and interlocking steel latticework dominate the upper frame, framing the sunny blue sky like an open geometric ceiling. Down below, parallel wooden handrails trace a straight path toward two small figures walking in the distance. The contrast between deep shadow along the metal girders and bright natural light creates a grounded, graphic architectural image.
