The Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway used to cross the River Stour over this bridge at Sturminster Newton, but was closed in the 1960s along with a large part of Britain's rail network. It's a very peaceful place now. 11th May '05.

It's a beautiful pastoral scene combined with the piece of history. Glad to see they left a section to remind you of what once was.

Like this very much. The soft color tones are extremely pleasing. The angle you took on the remains of that bridge strikes me as perfect. The swan was a nice touch as well. You captured a memorable scene.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
