this was just near our chalet in scotland (no, i didnt really drop my cokin nd8 filter that i was using for the first time and holder into the river as i looked over the bridge)! lol! The furthest back bridge had a plaque saying it was started in 1805.

Great mood to this photo, Like the B/W treatment. the second bridge looks great through the arch of the one in the forefront.

Stunning piece of work, Jan. At first glance, I thought it was a pencil drawing by one of those fabulous vagabond artists of Mexico. When I opened the full screen image, it blew me away. Definitely a keeper.

Ohhhh. I hope the filter you didn't drop wasn't too expensive. :) Impressive piece of art you've created here Jan! I'm keeping this one!

Many happy memories for me, honey. Played Pooh Sticks from those bridges! Good choice on the B&W I think given the pedigree of the stonework. They look great from that angle too. Very clever. regards. Tommy

Love the dark B/W. Looking very moody and even old and lots to see in this (are those white marks on the bridge down to birds? lol) like the sharpness of the rocks, the cloudy flow of water and through the arch to the other arches. A great picture Jan!

Looks like a scene from a old Sherlock Holmes movie. Basil Rathbone era. Love the use of the B/W and composition. Just excellent Jan.

The b/w gives this the appearance of being a cavern beyond the arches of the bridge. Nice contrasts, Jan.

Another place to look out for the troll dung this. Who knows what's lurking in the arches under these bridges. Love the spooky atmosphere you've got here and the great perspective from the receding arches.
