[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Arslanagic bridge is one of the most attractive Turkish bridges in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located on the Trebišnjica River in the beautiful town of Trebinje. It is one of the finest examples of Ottoman architecture. The bridge was originally built 10 km upstream from its present location.
With the construction of a hydro-power plant in the 1960s the bridge was flooded. The water level was lowered again in 1966 to dismantle the bridge. It was eventually rebuilt in 1972 in the centre of Trebinje. The bridge was originally built in 1574 by Grand Vizir Mehmed-pasha Sokolovic and served as trading link with Novi (Herceg Novi, Montenegro) and Ragusa (Dubrovnik, Croatia). The bridge got its name only in the 17th from Arslan-aga a nobleman who fled Novi after it fell to the Venetians. He set up a toll collection center near the bridge.
The Trebišnjica River is a sinking river, 98 km long above the ground. With a total length of 187 km above and under the ground, it is one of the longest sinking rivers in the world.

Hello Debbie,
This is a wonderful bridge, the reflections are attractive also.
Your notes are also very informative & make your photo relevant.
If anything your shot lacks a little finer detail--but we are not perfect!

Regards,
David Cortez

A wonderful shot Debbie with the sun picking out the mellow colours of the bridge

Hej Debbie,
The bridge and the reflection works fine together.
