I normally just drive over this bridge but seeing the late afternoon sun giving it this golden look I stopped and clambered down a fishermens' boat ramp to get some shots.This river was recently in flood and some branches carried along by its flow can still be seen clinging to the bridge.Yesterday it was so peaceful and still, and it is difficult to see where the reflection starts. . . Taken with Canon 450D . . Thank you for viewing and your comments are always welcome and valued.

Absolutely mirror-like reflections very well captured, Lyn. Also, sharp focus throughout - well done!

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

Makes me think of the Bridge over the River Kwai. I was just a wee lad when I first saw it. I have watched it many times since. Must be a man thing.
Reflections are stunning.

I ear the whistling from the movie "Bridge Over The River Kwai" in my head.
This is a great pic, the reflections are so sharp.
