Captured with the Rodenstock 70mm/5.6 Digaron lens and a bit of vertical shift. The afternoon light highlights the basic arched form of the bridge structure against the background and foreground foliage. A polarizer darkened the clear winter sky.

The Taft Bridge, named for the impressively-sized US president and SCOTUS chief justice, is the largest unreinforced concrete bridge in the world. Comprising seven major arches over Rock Creek Park, it links the Kalorama and Woodly Park neighborhoods.

@mattblaze@federate.social some of the worst traffic ever in that area though! I remember the few times I had to go to DC via car and boy you can spend hours at this junction.

@mattblaze@federate.social I would have thought it would be wider.
