Ponte JK

Ponte JK all lit up last year for Christmas

Full Moon Over Ponte JK with Bridge Lit Up with the Colors of Brazil

For the last few years around Christmas time I like to go down to the Ponte JK or JK Bridge here in Brasilia, to photograph it and see how they've lit it up. This year I believe because of the crisis they didn't put any color gels on it or at least the last time I saw it, it was still plain white. Maybe next year.

Moon Over Ponte JK

Ponte JK Brasilia, Brazil

Well, with the help of a Super Moon and a clear night it makes it a little easier to photography the moon standing on the edge of  Lago Paranoá. Next Moon is schedule to appear on September 9th with the next Blood Moon on Oct 8th of this year. These signs in the heavens are signaling the end times, not the end of the world but the end of the church age. Jesus is coming soon.

The JK Bridge or better know as Ponte JK, here in Brasilia, lit up for Christmas. I was trying to get a different perceptive this year so I went a little earlier to see if I could catch the sky before it went totally black. Anyways, I also thought they might change the gels this year but the didn't. The first year I photographed the bridge it was more colorful and the gels where in a different order. I've also tried different location but this one seems to work the best. There was one more spot I was going to try and shoot it from but time, traffic and rain got in the way. The bridge is also in the fight path from the airport as planes are taking off and landing making it a little more difficult to keep the streaks of lights from the planes out of the photos seeing how most of these exposure are 20 to 30 seconds long.

Ponte JK at Christmas

Ponte JK Brasilia, Brazil

The world famous Ponte JK in Brasilia, Brazil, lite up at night with a splash of color for Christmas. Well, it Christmas time again. I actually  always enjoyed the 24th or Christmas Eve the best. So, for me this is a time to reflex on the pass year. And what a year it's been for me. The good new is God (Jesus) is still on my side. I am comforted in the fact that my Mighty Savoir, the Prince of Peace and King of Kings, can never leave me, abandon me or hurt me in anyway. And that my friends is good news! As one of the lines to one of my favorite songs says "With Christ at my side I am Destined to Win."  Blessings to all as we celebrate the birth of the True and Living God who came to earth to save us, forgive us, and give us an Abundant life to all who believe in Him.  For it is written that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of All.

Ponte JK- Lago Paranoa

It seems like everywhere I go lately I have to cross this bridge the Ponte JK. I don't mind, the view is always interesting and depending on what day of the week it is there are lots of boats out in the water. I keep tell myself, I need to meet someone who has a boat so I can enjoy the view from the water. Preferable a big boat!!

Ponte JK at Night 

This bridge in Brasilia, known as the Ponte JK  was built around 2002 connects the Lago Sul section of town to to the main part of Brasilia or the Plano Piloto. I've only driven on it by day until the other night and didn't realize it was all lit up and so magnificent looking at night. Time permitting I'll try and get some more shoot from different locations as the bridge take on a different look from different vantage points.
