not quite dusk this evening, with the infra red filter. i've even found out some information for you all about the bridge... shock horror!! Bishop Bridge is the only surviving medieval bridge in the city of Norwich. It was built in 1340, one of the oldest bridges still in use in England. A fortified gatehouse stood on the bridge until the 18th century, and the semi-circular projection you can see today is part of its outer turrets. In 1549 it became a battlefield, when Robert Kett's rebels fought royal troops. The rebels overcame the defenders, and ran amok through Norwich. You can see the arms of the city - a lion and castle - carved over a central arch; the Red Lion pub probably derives its name from this. Originally owned by monks, the prior was allowed to build houses on the bridge but had to allow access for people and their horses beside the arches. In 1393 it was handed over to the city

Great old bridge and great commentry. Why the heck do they stick signs on briges over 600 yrs old? The filter works great on this and gives it a feeling of age. A very interesting image loads of detail in the bridge. Job well done!

This looks fantastic in the infrared. There is so much contrast with that filter. A beautiful scene. That bridge has quite a long history. I think that's what's missing in the US. We have no history, just a couple hundred years and the Natives Americans didn't build forts, bridges and castles.lol

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

People may flatter themselves just as much by thinking that their faults are always present to other people's minds, as if they believe that the world is always contemplating their individual charms and virtues. -Elizabeth Gaskell
