Macedonian Ambassador to Japan Andrijana Cvetkovik's take on the Hijiribashi Bridge over the Kanda River in Tokyo won her the Grand Prize in the 19th Japan Through Diplomats' Eyes photography contest this week.

The annual competition was set up to let diplomats and their families share their perspectives on Japan through the camera's lens.

In the ambassador's shot, titled "Circle of life," the bridge's arch connects with its reflection in the waters, as a Chuo Line train appears to run by.
