Architecture nominee

This was one of those unanticipated discoveries. I was walking around the riverfront in downtown Hartford, Connecticut, and when I passed underneath the Founders Bridge, which crosses the Connecticut River, I saw that the water beneath it was reflecting upwards the brilliant sunlight outside. And since the then-current state of the bridge was still fairly new, and the concrete was pretty clean, its arches seemed to glow like marble. And when I backed up against the wall at that end of the bridge and extended my 70-200mm lens to its long end, the effect was to compress the arches so that they appeared closer to each other than they really were, seeming to be a continuing kind of processional, almost ritual way, as if in some ancient temple or dream of a mystical path.
