Tokyo, Japan's Bridges: Momiji & Sakura Bridges across the Kyu Nakagawa (3)

March 2012 (35.693 Degrees, 139.848 Degrees) Momiji and Sakura Bridges
Another view of the Momiji and Sakura Bridges across the Nakagawa. The bridges are three span haunched steel box girder structures on decorated pier walls. Just as the nearby buildings seem to capture the salmon color of the girders, the pair of bridges in the background seem to capture the light grey color of the bridges' piers.

Also note the parallel image of each bridge in the water. Bridge designers should consider the reflected shape of their river crossings to create a pleasing double image.
