Bridges


 

Bridges are stunning subjects in photography, combining architecture, engineering, and often picturesque surroundings. From delicate suspension bridges to massive steel structures, they offer intriguing perspectives and symmetry. Their interplay with light and shadow provides endless creative opportunities.

Nagasaki after the World War

Megane Bridge (Spectacle Bridge) over the Nakashima River (中島川) in Nagasaki

Originally an insignificant fishing village, Nagasaki experienced a sustained boom with the arrival of the Portuguese in the mid-16th century. This is considered to be the first contact between Europeans and Japanese ever. The missionary F. Xavier founded the basis for the Jesuit missionary work there and soon Christian churches and nursing homes were established. This went hand-in-hand with the growing prosperity of the small town, which did not go unnoticed by the mighty of Japan, and thus not without consequences for the peaceful community of Nagasaki.
