It looks like some people think that just because LED lighting is cheaper and more energy efficient it should be used... everywhere!

This nameless bridge in Kaiping crosses an artery of the Tanjiang River.

Nice photo. Everything is coloured coded. I'd have no problem finding my home(:-0)
Though it's pretty, I wonder when we'll stop with our light pollution. In France, some "green" cities are already imagining totally dark cities in the dead of night, between 2 and 5 am which I think is going way too far though...
i must agree, it still uses energy:)
but the light reflection's very pretty...
The city sure is lit up, isn't it? Lovely reflections, though.
It doesn't have that same glow that the older light have have. And I still haven't warmed to the blue lights.
I wish there was a way to just have the reflections, without using all that light
my town gets pretty dark at night and I love it, especially when the old lamp posts are on, shedding just a bit of warm light
So positive and correct idea about this light.And the effect is amazing, brilliant lights there.Your picture is awesome, congratulations.
I would like to thank you so much for your always kind words and please forgive my absence.I'm studying here a lot to achieve my goals about French.As I'm not a teenager, I guess I've lost several neuroneus along the years, so that...I must study double to compensate it! LOL
Hugs and happy weekend,
Léia
what a beautiful view! ♥
Such beautiful, colorful reflections and a terrific capture for the day, Cisca! Hope you have a lovely weekend!

It is a very beautiful reflection, but the whole idea of using more lights just because they're less expensive than incandescent bulbs is counter-productive.
I love to look at the night sky in places where there is no light pollution. It's just amazing.

It looks like there are lights everywhere.
Wow these is beautiful!
Weekend Reflection
I agree...I wish there was a way to have the reflections without all of the lighting. This is still an amazing and beautiful capture. genie
wow, that's a striking image Francisca. happy weekend to you.
Let them use LED because it looks great in this photo! :)
It makes such a great photo, with the lights, there will be no photo.
It almost looks computer generated! Nice pic...
It is definitely bright! There was a controversy going on in Eugene OR when we were "home" there this summer about some red lighting that the city put on a new bridge. I never got around to getting a picture of it.
Ya, I don't like them either. And now most Christmas lighting is LED...YUK!
The line of lights in the water looks like a wave moving away from the bridge. It took me several seconds to get oriented. Neat.
Agree over kill, but how lucky for you to happen along and capture it. I LOVE this photo. The sense of panoramic makes it even more expressive. Nicely composed.
That is a spectacular shot! Crisp and what a great reflection! I have trouble with night time shots. I'm never really sure what to put my camera settings on!
Wow!!! Love this shot!!! The lights are wonderful!!!
I put word verification back on my site because I was getting quite a few spammer comments...it is a pain though!
I love your poem about it!!!
Yikes, I am sure the intent was good, but it yells: blinding hot scorn... to me. ~Mary
I agree about "light pollution", but that is a beautiful photo!
That is a fantastic night shot Francisca!
This may be a drain on energy resources but o what a fairytale view of this bridge by night!
It makes a great reflection.

The lights do look pretty and make a lovely reflection.
But I also long for some darkness, sometimes.
Digital cameras bring night photography to a new level. The colors are always amazing! Unfortunately, in this shot, the lights of the bridge tend to take away from the symmetry and beauty of the picture.
I mean it's still beautiful, but ... the nameless bridge gets in the way! :-)
This is PERFECT! Amazing shot, Francisca.
LED overkill or not, it is a beautiful image and a welcome contribution to Sunday Bridges.
