Te Rewa Rewa Bridge is an amazing pedestrian and cycleway bridge in New Plymouth, New Zealand. It's not your average bridge - it's got an incredible steel arch design that looks like it's swaying in the wind, and also happens to line up perfectly with Mount Taranaki when looking down the bridge which makes for a magic photo.

The bridge connects New Plymouth with Bell Block and was opened in 2010. Locals and tourists love taking a stroll or bike ride across it and it is especially busy after work hours for everyone catching some fresh air.

Photography info: The Te Rewa Rewa Bridge works both at sunrise and sunset golden hours but if you'd like to have it quieter or to yourself definitely go for sunrise. Take your zoom lens with you for this location (70-200mm or similar) and position yourself back from the bridge so you can compress the mountain in the centre of the bridge.
