I see you took this with the D90, Count B. Many of the railways have been turned to footpaths in my part of the world too. I think that is a shame to do away with them.

You have many pleasing objects for the eyes to rest on in this post. You really understand how to compose a shot.

Glad it's at least a foot bridge, instead of being left to rot away. Far to bad that so many railways are not around any more, but thankfully some are at least footpaths. The remains of one here I bike on almost every day. Before I get too carried away ... the photo is wonderful Richie!

The accursed Beeching again - may he rot in hell! But at least we've now got some lovely walks to remind us of the glorious past. A superb capture here, Richie.

This is a real beauty Richie. I like the details of the bridge. That is some beautiful stone my friend and that river is something to behold.

Although I passed many a time, I have yet to snap it!..

good angle and a canny capture....

does that footpath lead to a 'pie and a pint' then?...

A great combo of a man built bridge with nature in it's glory. Love the dark tone of the stones. Great job.
