Nailed Down

Another day, another bridge...

This photo was taken under a raised highway spanning the Boise River. I was interested in the shapes of the repeating concrete support pillars. To me they look like giant nails pounded into the ground. I wish the sky had some color, but our weather is endlessly dreary these days.
I like this, Lisa. Great POV and repetition!

I love the shapes and composition of your shot Lisa, and great textures in the concrete :-)

It's an impressive looking bridge Lisa. I see what you mean about it looking like nails hammered into the ground. I don't suppose they light it up at night do they?
February 4th, 2013  
Like your composition here and the criss-crossing lines.
February 4th, 2013  
Another spectacular composition the pov is superb and the framing through first arch excellent : love the subdued tones !

Our skies have been switching back and forth- one day blue, one day gray. It's enough to say, "Make up your mind already!" Nice composition and well-spotted. The bridge really makes a nice pattern throughout the picture, but watch your horizontals- it seems a bit tilted to me.

@olivetreeann Thanks for your comment, Ann. You are right about the horizontal. I noticed too after I had posted. I have since made the correction. I appreciate the constructive feedback!

@cmc1200 Thank you, Caryn. Are you guys dealing with inversions, too? I find them so depressing. Makes me want to drive to the mountains every day!

@timrox Thank you for your comment, Tim. Unfortunately they do not light up at night. It would be a great shot if they did.
February 5th, 2013  
@stu_b Thanks Stu. I liked the texture in the concrete, too. It happens to be a place where kids play paintball, although there are signs all over prohibiting this. The paint splatter creates some interesting designs in places. Thanks again for your comment!

@amandalomonaco Thank you, Amanda! I appreciate your comment!
February 5th, 2013  
wonderful perspective Lisa!
February 5th, 2013  
I love the pov! Very cool!
February 5th, 2013  
Great pov and repetition. I agree to you about the sky. Please repeat this shot again with blue sky or stormy clouds.
February 5th, 2013  
I really love the curve of the bridge! Such a great POV! I wish I could send you some of our beautiful blue skies! But I think the gray skies really add to a sort of industrial look to the shot.
February 6th, 2013  
@emrob Thanks so much, Mandy. You are so sweet. I would so gladly take some of your blue skies. You have no idea... I do have to agree that the grey is fitting here. So appreciate your comment!
February 6th, 2013  
@noragentian Thank you for your comment and follow, Ruth. I will definitely return to shot on a blue sky day.
February 6th, 2013  
It reminds me of a Roman aquaduct. I love how you framed the columns with the foreground section.
February 6th, 2013  
Great shot - your composition really emphasises their weight and power. Very nice Lisa

I really like the perspective,and composition. I would not have thought about it but they do look a lot like nails.
February 6th, 2013  
Awesome, I love the point of view!
February 6th, 2013  
@rvwalker Thank you, Ross. I hadn't seen its resemblance to an aqueduct before but you are right. :)
