Not exactly related, but it drives me a little crazy when the arc of light in a crescent moon in art goes past the midpoint of the moon. That's not how light on a sphere works!

It's the Crescent Moon Bridge in Yongqing Fang, Guangzhou, China.

It's called the Red Bridge or the Moon Bridge in Yongqingfang, a tourist area in Liwan, Guangzhou, in southern China.

It looks like it may have been intended to be more symmetrical except one of the supports of the right side failed, causing it to droop. Even if true, it would have still looked sloppy.

Actually, looking at it more closely now, especially the bend near the left side, it looks like it may just be held up with bailing wire tied around the spindles.

Mildly terrifying for me - there's something off-putting about having a usually distant thing in the sky be much closer to the ground and becoming visually much larger as a result.

But besides that the colours of the scenery is nice
