Okay, so this is the second "under bridge" PotD this week, but this image by Flickr user volcanojw was too good to pass up. The architecture of the Wilson Bridge creates bold lines as the construction crew works underneath. She took a landscape version that emphasizes the great curves of the pillars, but I like this one for its strong path to a vanishing point.

It's interesting that the two spans aren't exactly at the same height, at least from this vantage point.

could it be because they're banked a little going through that curve?

I was wondering that, but saw that the visual line of the lamp post supports don't line up at all.

They are offset by a few feet, it's not just the perspective, not sure why. I took the photo, and stared at that part for a good long while!
