This path wanders through the lily beds at the Japanese Gardens. As the path changes direction, the boards continue a bit beyond the rails, jutting out past where the turn occurs. It's said evil spirits can't make the turns and will walk off the path into the water.
I have to wonder what that does for the koi, but it makes for a pretty path to walk.

This meets the challenge very well, and invites the viewer to explore the photo. I like the title. It needs a bit of sharpening, but I still think it is a great image.
Did you consider cropping out the top leaves and the bottom sidwalk? I did it on my screen . It eliminated some distraction and added to the strengt of the right angles.
cool bridge. the focus feels a touch off though. perhaps b/w would have allowed the bridge zig zags to stand out. currently i'm distracted by all the grass.
