Shirakawa Stream from Tatsumibashi Bridge

Shirakawa Stream from Tatsumibashi Bridge

March 2023 — A view along the Shirakawa Stream from the Tatsumibashi Bridge in Kyoto’s Gion district, photographed in March 2023. This narrow waterway flows parallel to Shijo-dori and is lined with traditional wooden machiya, many of which date back to the early 20th century and once housed teahouses and restaurants serving the geiko and maiko communities. The Shirakawa area has long been considered one of Kyoto’s most atmospheric neighborhoods, with stone embankments, bamboo fencing, and low bridges that reflect centuries of urban design shaped around natural waterways. Although the cherry trees here remain bare in early spring, this stretch becomes one of Kyoto’s most visited spots during sakura season, when blossoms arch over the stream and lantern-lit evenings draw crowds from around the world.

Winter Traffic on the Leo Frigo Bridge

December 2022 — A CTS tractor-trailer crosses the Leo Frigo Memorial Bridge—locally known as the Tower Drive Bridge—during a winter snowstorm in Green Bay, Wisconsin. In the foreground, the familiar shingled lighthouse structure along the riverfront stands out against the white sky, its lantern room partially frosted as lake-effect snow drifts through the scene. The contrast between the elevated highway and the shoreline landmark highlights the mix of transportation corridors that define Green Bay’s industrial waterfront.

Loring Park Footbridge After Fresh Snowfall

Loring Park Footbridge After Fresh Snowfall

December 2022 — A fresh snowfall settles over Loring Park near downtown Minneapolis, softening the landscape around the park’s pedestrian bridge and historic shelter building. From above, the snow highlights the geometric layout of paths, railings, and terraces surrounding the bridge, which crosses a narrow channel connecting sections of the park’s pond system. Loring Park—a key part of the city’s late-19th-century park plan—remains one of Minneapolis’s most recognizable urban green spaces, bordered by the Loring Greenway and the southern edge of downtown. The new snow creates a uniform winter texture across the lawns, benches, and shoreline vegetation, with only light footprints and plowed walkways hinting at early morning activity in the park.

Bench Overlooking Downtown Minneapolis Mickey's Beer

Bench Overlooking Downtown Minneapolis Mickey's Beer

May 2022 — A weathered metal bench sits along one of Minneapolis’s elevated pedestrian and bicycle bridges, its frame showing rust from years of exposure to winter salt and freeze–thaw cycles. The skyline appears in the distance—soft, cool, and out of focus—giving the bench a quiet vantage point over the city. Graffiti tags on the slats and a discarded green Mickey’s bottle beneath the seat add small traces of everyday use, hinting at how these bridges serve not just as transportation corridors but as informal social spaces. Many of the city’s long-span pedestrian bridges, especially those built over rail corridors and highways, were added during the late 20th century to connect neighborhoods divided by infrastructure. Despite their utilitarian design, they often become familiar landmarks for runners, cyclists, and residents crossing between neighborhoods at dusk, when the muted lights of downtown begin to glow against the evening sky.
