Under the Bridge

I had departed from the street to photograph a nearby powerstation.
While getting to a point I had a good view of the station,
I noticed this strange but fascinating natural/man-made composition.
After getting the exposure right, not much was required in post-processing.
A very slight turn and a very gentle crop. It's a centre-weighted composition,
but for me, symmetry often defies the "rule of thirds".
Pushing the shadows would reduce the visual impact of the contrast,
so I kept my fingers off that action.
The title is both descriptive and a reminiscence of the RHCP song.
