A Roller Coaster… A Kind Of

It’s not a ride. But it feels like one.

Shot with an ultra-wide lens, this pedestrian bridge bends and twists like it’s unsure whether it’s architecture or attraction. The metal curves upward, forward, out of the frame—pulling your eye (and your balance) with it. Perspective doesn’t just stretch here—it spirals. Geometry gets theatrical.

At the top of the climb, a small group walks calmly, as if unaware they’re part of the illusion. No one is rushing. One wears yellow, another carries a bag—ordinary people on a not-so-ordinary structure. The Adriatic glints below, a boat docked quietly at the base. It could be a coastal scene from anywhere in Italy, but the angle changes everything.

The title came easily: A Roller Coaster… A Kind Of. Because that’s exactly what this was—not in speed or thrill, but in sensation. In the way metal and light and framing can simulate motion without moving at all.

Photography doesn’t always need to tell a story. Sometimes, it just needs to tilt the ground beneath your feet.
