I thought these bridge supports would provide an interesting image. This was last spring, mid-afternoon.

I know this bridge, Elizabeth. cool

Your view here with the excellent reflections shows it off very well. I'm thinking that this is tilted a bit clockwise based on the first 3-4 columns, so I'm curious about a slightly rotated version.

Thank you, Mark. I think there might be a bit of optical illusion with the water and angle. I tried several times to straighten it again, then tried perceptive correction. That moved it a bit. Maybe this is an improvement. I do appreciate the feedback.

Looks pretty familiar, Elizabeth. You got a nice image of it with really cool reflections.

Elizabeth, the repost "feels" much better and yes, I do expect perspective to make defining vertical in a view like this difficult. I have seen bridges where the pillars were deliberately tilted that may be true of some of these pillars also, so to some extent this is an exercise in controlling visual expectations.

Must be some parallel history between you folks. The repost works well for the theme.
