[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I really wanted to take night photos of the Arlington Memorial Bridge from below but as I was setting my tripod, two police cars arrived. I was asked to leave immediately. My activity was soliciting suspicions.

Instead I present to you a view of the bridge from atop. The Arlington Memorial Bridge is flanked on both ends with street lamps. The Lincoln Monument is centered at a distance. According to Wikipedia, the Arlington Memorial Bridge is a significant element in the neoclassical urban design of the National Capital as it evolved during the first third of the 20th century. Successfully integrated with Washington's grand plan, the bridge composition enhances the monumental city as well as the riverscape. The low, neo-classical bridge is 2,163 feet long and 90 feet between balustrades, carrying a 60-foot-wide roadway and 15-foot sidewalks.

Hi Danilo,
I like the effect of the lights, we could be believed in another world, another dimension :)) Or a track landing. Our imagination can see what we want and I like it very much.Thanks
Have a nice week-end

Nice experiment Danilo! Weird feeling of standing in the middle of the road at night! Scary! Nice details. I wish there were star patterns on the lights. Check out Eyesthetics page, he does some great night shots!

Hi Danilo

Too bad about not getting the shot you wanted. But wow! This is also a super night shot. I like the effect of the car lights going the same way. And also, "the uncluttered look", just these lights, work well here.

Cheerios :-)

Bonjour Danilo,
Une bonne dynamique avec cette circulation, j'aime bien aussi la perspective avec le bâtiment en fond.
Tu cours des risques pour nous ;)

Fabulous night shot Danilo.
A great idea for a location too.
I know how it feels to have the cops come and shut you down.
Same thing happened to me in Times Sqaure in NYC one night,
same reasons. Crazy.
Nice work here.
