 Coexistence of past and present ... old and new ... dark and light ... coal and electric ... left and right ...

Location: Tempe Town Lake in Tempe, AZ. The bridge on the right is part of the new Phoenix Metro Light Rail system and spans 1530 feet. The bridge on the left is the historic Union Pacific steel truss bridge constructed in 1912 (and still active today).

Photo: A digital blend of 3 exposures done manually (masks) in CS3; a main exposure with passing light rail overhead, another for the light under the light rail bridge and a third for the silky smooth water.
