This is the Shinkyo Bridge in Nikko, Japan. I was there a week or so, ago. This incarnation of Shinkyo was constructed in 1636, but a bridge has been here for much longer. Its origins are more a legend than anything else, formed by two serpents meeting from either side of the River to create a crossing. The bridge is near the entrance to the Toshogu Shrine.
Long exposure.

Happy New Year, everyone. Another year, another sunrise. One way or the other, I've forced 2024 to be a dramatic year of change. Fingers crossed it will at least be partially rewarding.
