I adjusted this photo to compensate for the contrast and brightness. The stones in the riverbed aren't as washed out by the light now.
This is a photograph of the Kintai Bridge in Iwakuni Japan. About 200 meters long (220 yards), the bridge spans the Nishiki River. The wooden structure consists of five arches, each 5 meters (5.5 yards) wide, 6.6 meters (73 yards) high, and spanning 40 meters (44 yards). The elegance of the form inspired the name Kintai (which means gold brocade sash, because of a similarity to the traditional Nishiki obi for kimono). Along with Nihonbashi bridge in Tokyo and Meganebashi bridge in Nagasaki, it is on e of the three most famous bridges in Japan.
When you travel in your city, country or around the world, the photographer needs to stop and capture the uniqueness of his/her surroundings. I have travelled in Asia and Europe and the architectural wonders are amazing. Cathedrals in Europe, floating temples in Asia; what will the next trip present. I'll be ready with my camera. Will you?
