Brilliant orange and blues in this photo. LOVE how each little light twinkles* I esp like the natural frame work from the moutain side, the darkness allows the the bridge to be totally focused on, and the colors to shine so brilliant!!
The soft purple hues in the background meeting the sky really gives it a romantic feel, as though a couple from a car is sitting there looking at the lights on this bridge....
good job!! #3054420
