Built in the early 1900s, the Prichard Bridge crosses the South Thompson River. This one lane wooden structure has a wider section near the halfway point, so traffic can pull over and stop to let oncoming vehicles pass. The higher section on the eastern side is high and wide enough to accommodate paddle wheelers and other large riverboats of the time.
This was taken on New Years Day. The Jefferson Memorial is the structure on the right, and the U.S. Capitol Building can be seen in the distance on the left.
"The world of shapes, lines, curves, and solids is as varied as the world of numbers, and it is only our long-satisfied possession of Euclidean geometry that offers us the impression, or the illusion, that it has, that world, already been encompassed in a manageable intellectual structure. The lineaments of that structure are well known: as in the rest of life, something is given and something is gotten..."

Metropol Parasol is a wooden structure located at La Encarnación square, in the old quarter of Seville, Spain. It was designed by the German architect Jürgen Mayer and completed in April 2011. It has dimensions of 150 by 70 metres (490 by 230 ft) and an approximate height of 26 metres (85 ft) and claims to be the largest wooden structure in the world. Its appearance, location, delays and cost overruns in construction resulted in much public controversy. The building is popularly known as Las Setas de la Encarnación (Incarnation's mushrooms).
The structure consists of six parasols in the form of giant mushrooms ("Las setas" in Spanish), whose design is inspired by the vaults of the Cathedral of Seville and the ficus trees in the nearby Plaza de Cristo de Burgos. Metropol Parasol is organized in four levels. The underground level (Level 0) houses the Antiquarium, where Roman and Moorish remains discovered on site are displayed in a museum. Level 1 (street level) is the Central Market. The roof of Level 1 is the surface of the open-air public plaza, shaded by the wooden parasols above and designed for public events. Levels 2 and 3 are the two stages of the panoramic terraces (including a restaurant), offering one of the best views of the city centre. ~ Wikipedia

In Bangladesh, the rivers are often dredged for various reasons. This was one of the structures where pipes were installed on bamboo poles to throw away the sands far away from the work site.
Relationship in space is important to impose 'characterization' to the various elements. To infuse believability to an item. In other words; it comes forth from the background and becomes something. They are no longer alone, but present themselves in concert, each enhancing one another's presence.
In such a structure the cloud and even grassy field become involved entities in the picture.
