At that time both the bridge and the trams were new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For these photos, I worked with my FujiFilm XT1 fitted with a 18-135mm Fujinon Zoom. I&#8217;ve always liked the geometric repetition of shapes in these images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"316\"
