The late afternoon sun on the trees made a nice sight. The bridge on the left is part of State Highway 1 and is 906 metres long. Before it was built in 1956 there had been a combined rail/road bridge since 1877 which had overhead water tanks in case of fire. There is a small township at the northern end of the bridge called Glenavy which is a haven for anglers. (Population approx 140)It was named for Glenavy, Northern Ireland, the birthplace of former New Zealand Premier John Ballance.(1891-1893). This is just 3 km from the mouth of the river pictured in my other post.
(this really does look better full screen)

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

The trees and the whole landscape are beautifully lit up by the late afternoon sun. That sky looks lovely too Lyn.

The setting sun has created a magical touch on this scene. Good chosen angle so that the major elements (Waitaki river, sky and trees) are equally divided to your fine composition.

Looked at full screen and the lighting in this is really beautiful Lyn - there is a warmth that bathes everything in a slight glow.

Lyn - The lighting is exquisite, making this a special capture. The large trees make a different and pleasingly interesting composition.
