And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
This photograph captures a quiet, foggy morning at the Dom Luís I Bridge in Porto, Portugal.
Location: The bridge spans the Douro River, connecting the city of Porto with Vila Nova de Gaia.
Atmosphere: The scene is noted for its dramatic, moody composition, often photographed in black and white to emphasize the contrast between the metal structure and the surrounding mist.
Subject: A solitary runner or fisherman is often featured in this specific composition to highlight the massive scale of the bridge.
History: Completed in 1886, it is a renowned double-deck metal arch bridge, designed by a partner of Gustave Eiffel.
The minds that conceive that and the hands that built it. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteBridges and trestles are greatly under appreciated. Should get the same attention as the pyramids and Stonehenge.
DeleteThe exposure and printing are not to bad either.
