Photographer’s Note

33 bridge of esfahan city -iran
The Si-o-se Pol (Persian: سی وسه پل, pronounced [siː oˈseh pol], which means 33 Pol, literally 33 Bridge) or the Bridge of 33 Arches, also called the Allah-Verdi Khan Bridge, is one of the eleven bridges of Esfahan, Iran. It is highly ranked as being one of the most famous examples of Safavid bridge design.

Commissioned in 1602 by Shah Abbas I from his chancellor Allahverdi Khan Undiladze, an Iranian ethnic Georgian, it consists of two rows of 33 arches. There is a larger base plank at the start of the bridge where the Zayandeh River flows under it, supporting a tea house.

yes, agree with amalia on this one, the pov along the looooooong bridge is great as well as the reflections on the slightly
rippled water, it just looks a little pale - the workshop is a good idea. take care & best wishes, thor.
