Jolicoeur Bridge

One of my favorite midday photo subjects is concrete. Concrete and shadows. All straight line, always moving. These images were taken on a small bridge spanning the canal on De la Verandrye. It has been earmarked as one of the 13 most critically dangerous structures on the island, so I went to take a few shots one afternoon because a shutdown and possible rebuild is in it's future. Of the eight bridges that cross the Canal de Aqueduc this is by far my favorite and has the best view of downtown.



The shadows of the pillars in the photo above almost give a stair effect, dividing the walkway into cells of white light. The picture would be so much more without the jumper fence, but what can you do?
