Welcome to all. I began blogging Retained-Images in 2004 at My-Expressions.com. It is gone now.
@Jason Kravitz: you should read the Wikipedia page on this bridge. It provides more info on the style of the bridge and its popularity. You can also follow links to related info, perhaps on your namesake.
@Steven: Of course I shot all 4 dragons, and some of them from several angles' so part of my success is perseverance
