What are we looking at?
It may take a moment to figure that its the underside of a bridge, in this case, the Robert Moses Bridge on the south shore of Long Island, near Captree Island. It was shot by a photographer friend, Jeff Urquhart.
What strikes me first about this image is the abstract symmetry. I’m intrigued by the repetition of overhead arches leading to the foggy “light” down the center. Three colors—granite, blue-green, and red-orange, interplay well with the overall form and design.
This photo is well composed and exposed. It has a medieval and cathedral-like appeal that shows strength, light, and balance, all of which happen to be desirable human attributes.
Thanks for letting me share this captivating image, Jeff.
