This is the Vasco da Gama bridge in Lisbon, Portugal. This bridge is used daily by thousands of commuters, but if you stand on the spot where I took this picture, you don't notice all the crowds. You see the bridge disappear towards the sun, making it seem infinite. With its more than 12 kilometers, it kind of is. While taking this picture I actually had a different composition in mind. Then I suddenly saw the reflection of the bridge in the layer of water that was still present. With the reflection of the rising sun, it became a serene picture. To me, the photo represents the calmness that an early start to the day can exude. The colors are not overly present, but provide the necessary nuances.
