AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a photo contest themed "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," inviting participants to submit images focused on bridges, regardless of their size or the nature of the waters beneath. Contest rules specify that only digital or digitally-scanned photos are accepted, with a maximum size of 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels. Participants can adjust brightness and contrast but cannot significantly alter the image. Each member is allowed to submit only one photo, which must be their own original work, and once submitted, it cannot be changed. Photos must be uploaded to a photo server or directly to the forum, and only images intended for submission should be posted in the contest thread. Voting will occur at the end of the contest period, potentially across multiple threads if there are many entries. Participants have shared various bridge images, including a log bridge with Mount Rainier and a coal bridge in Ohio, while discussing the historical context of bridges in their regions.

Bridge Over Troubled Waters

We haven't had this theme for a rather long time, so it is now back. The main subject of your photo must be on bridges. It doesn't matter if it is a small bridge, or a large bridge, and it doesn't matter if it is over troubled waters, or calm waters. The bridge is the focus.

Contest Rules:

1. Any digital photo or digitally-scanned photo relevant to the theme will be accepted within the contest period. In case there's a gray area, or you're not sure if the picture is suitable, check with me first.

2. Please resize your digital photo to no more than 800 x 600 or 600 x 800 pixels. You may also crop your picture if you wish. You are also allowed to adjust the brightness and contrast of your picture but these should not dramatically alter the look of the picture. But other than those, any form of picture editing or modification is not allowed. This is a photo contest, not a picture editing/special effect contest. You may add a watermark or your name/nickname to the photo for identification purposes.

3. Upload your photos to any of the photo servers such as imageshack or photobucket. Then post it the relevant contest thread and link your picture using the img command. PM me if you do not know how. Alternatively, you may simply upload your image file to PF, and then have the full image displayed in your post.

4. Only ONE picture per member per contest. Once a picture is posted, it cannot be changed other than a total withdrawl by that member from that week's photo contest. Exceptions will be made for modification to comply with the rules, such as resizing.

5. At the end of the contest period, I will open a poll and every PF member can vote for the picture they like best.

6. Note that in case we have a large number of entries, I will do the polling in more than one thread. If that's the case, you can vote in each of the polling threads. The photos will be assigned in the polling threads in the order they were submitted.

7. The photo of the subject must be something that you took directly, not via in intermediary medium, and not taken by someone else. Unless otherwise noted, a photo of another photo, painting, print, etc. does not qualify.

8. You can use a picture only once. Once it is used in a contest, it cannot be reused in another contest.

9. Please post only pictures meant for submission in this thread. Photos not meant for submission must not be posted in the contest thread. Posting of more than one photos by a member may result in an automatic disqualification from the week's contest.

The old rusty bridge across the Samara river (a mile before it joins Volga).
The white railway bridge is also seen.

Those look like overhead wires for electric trolleybuses (the kind that run on rubber tires, not trams that run on rails).

Too high. We had those buses when I was a kid. Guess they shouldn't have removed those wires considering our current trends towards electricity.

Edit: Sorry, not too high. I haven't seen the wires on the lower level.

Yep there are plenty of trolleybuses here!

The Number 6 is going across the river, to the remote district. It feels quite like traveling to another city.
