Memphis is built on the western edge of Tennessee, where the Mississipi River separates it from Arkansas. This is the bridge of the I-40 that leads to Little Rock.

Taken at dawn from my 19th floor hotel room. Image quality could be better as this was taken through a not so clean window, but I still like the light

Have a great day!

Will be on vacation next week. Stay cool!

The bridge is beautiful! And dawn light makes the atmosphere excellent. And probably the not-so-clean window in this case is more of an effect than deffect! :)
This is a really beautiful photo, Pierre!
Well done! And enjoy the vacation!
Laine

Hi Pierre,

Beautiful view, and well done on the composition.
Enjoy your vacation.

Mike

Great shot and light! The sunlight on the columns in the water adds a nice effect. Decisive moment is a good choice! Thanks for sharing.

Why don't they use these bridges as roller coasters? These shapes are great waves on long distance. Great dawn capture at 1/80; cars are visible.
what a place to shoot Pierre!

Interesting view where the colours of sunset play an important influence. It's a starway but is peaceful. Well composed.

Enric.

PD: Memphis? ahhhh, nice, where Pau Gasol plays basket.

Hi Pierre,

Considering the conditions you sure composed an excellent photo! The POV & warm colour tones are beautiful!

Very well done

Salut Pierre,
Superbe vue de ce pont avec l'éclairage de tombé du jour qui lui donne de la chaleur. J'aime bien l'angle que tu lui as donnée dans la photo avec la position de la structure métalique sur un "hit-point". Très bien réussi.
Luc

I like the use of the large area of grey in the sky to highlight the bridge Pierre, and to create a nice mood. The diagonal works really nicely.

This is the south Pierre. The light is absolutely beautiful and I would not have known you shot it through a window. The warm colours here are perfect and the humidity of the mid south is very present in this beautiful shot Pierre. I really like the repeating orange supports.

Love and Peace always
Kevin

Great POV of this gorgeous bridge!
Have a nice vacations!

Cheers,
Carla

Hi Pierre.
Very nice point of view, I like it this perspective; well done.
Thanks for sharing, have a great week-end.

Yasin.

Bonsoir Pierre,
La lumière est belle mais la composition est déséquilibrée, IMHO ! Trop de ciel et pas assez de matière en bas de la photo.
Bon, c'est un pont ...
Sylvie

Hello Pierre, :)
The angle of your shot is great and the atmosphere is truly brilliant!! nice lights!!
I'm thinking of having less sky though and more at the bottom, or a bit more close-up... just thinking :))
cheers

Ola Pierre!
Que bela panoramica e que optimas cores.os tons e as cores amenas dao um erncanto original à foto. um trabalho bem conseguido.
Bom trabalho!
Luci.

Beautiful light which gives these beautiful hues. Great shot, Pierre.

Marleen

Hi Pierre,
I like the effect that the window gave this photo. It is like a nice soft filter. The low angle of light and the colors in this shot are excellent. It also gives great memories from me of the many times I visited Memphis some eight years ago. The graduate light in the sky is amazing.
TFS,
Niek

Beautiful image Pierre,
Lights are great and those colours are just fantastic! I like the "foggy" feeling. It softens up the tones and give such a warm feeling...

Well done!

Take care, Stef :))

Hi Pierre,
Dawn ???!!! Easy does it - we want you around for a long time. Beautiful atmosphere you catpured here, and at a great time of day too. Window dirt doesn't show up at all, but the early morning colours do very well. Nice composition and very nicely done, TFS,
Sam .... OOOps out of points ... I'm back

wow, great perspective and such a nice atmosphere.
I miss your new photos, but i know you\re busy:)

Merhaba Pierre
Good shooting. Great arcthitecture.

Kerem

The dusk light made this shot so lovely that it doesn't matter if the glass was not so vclean. You had a very good POV and took advantage and composed your frame nicely. Well done!
Vassilis
