“Steel-Cherry-Rock (BW)”
Description:
The Japanese American Historical Plaza was dedicated in 1990 to honor Japanese Americans affected by World War II incarceration. One hundred Akebono cherry trees donated from Japan line the Willamette River and bloom in late March and early April. This view from the Burnside Bridge includes the Steel Bridge rising above the blossoms.
Story:
Cherry blossoms at the Japanese American Historical Plaza lead the eye to the Steel Bridge during sunrise.
That taller upright rock illuminated by the sunlight is inscribed with the Bill of Rights. This plaza is dedicated to Japanese Americans and brings awareness to the struggles they faced during WWII when they were incarcerated.
Cherry blossoms are the national flower of Japan, and they’re one of spring’s best blossoms in my opinion. They signal the beginning of spring and, with it, the arrival of spring photography.
Photographed from the Burnside Bridge, this is one of my favorite places to view the blossoms. You’re up high and can see the tops of the trees. This morning I enjoyed watching how the light changed the mood and color of the environment as the sun rose higher and higher.
Photographers are always working with light. Some say we “paint with light.”
In this photograph, light tells a powerful story by highlighting three important elements:
• The Steel Bridge
• The cherry blossoms
• The Bill of Rights rock
