Bridge partially extended over a body of water, Japan
Bridge partially extended over a body of water, Japan
A wooden bridge that breaks off midway across the water, and a person poling a long, narrow boat.
About this photo
A wooden bridge reaching out from the right comes to a sudden end in the middle of the water. The English title the library gave it says as much: "Bridge partially extended over a body of water." The railed deck rests on piers of wooden legs braced with X-shaped crosspieces.
On the low bank to the left, a lone figure stands. Out in the middle of the water, someone poles a long, narrow boat; on the flat land across the water, one tree stands tall, and far off, a thin line of houses stretches away.
At the bridge's broken-off end, the deck juts a little past the last pier, and the railing stops there too.
The title names no river and no bridge, and where the photo was taken remains unknown.
