23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Red Geometry

Under the massive steel structure of the Aizhai Bridge, the repeating triangular frames stretch toward a vanishing point, forming an intense tunnel of red. Light and shadow weave through the beams, revealing both the engineering precision and the sculptural beauty of this landmark. The image captures a rare perspective — standing inside the structure itself, where architecture becomes rhythm, geometry, and pure visual power.
