This timber bridge accross the Waitaki River, New Zealand was constructed in 1881 and is still in use today. It connects the small town of Kurow with the Hakataramea Valley.
The name Kurow is an anglicised version of Te Kohurau (a nearby mountain) and means "many mists".
The river bank was a nice place for a picnic this Easter Day :)
Thanks for viewing. Your comments are always welcome and valued.

Such a good composition, Lyn. You know just how to do it perfectly. This would have been a hands down winner in the bridge contest for sure. Wonderful post full of great color.

Nicely composed sharp shot Lynn..I often feel 12mpx is the optimal resolution for a digital camera and the clarity here proves it...R.

This is a KEEP-PAH. That log in the lower foreground really adds to the perspective.

Beauty of a shot Lyn. Great sky and foreground with a fascinating bridge to boot. Gotta wonder how much of that wood is the original 130 year old bridge and how much has had to be replaced over the years.

I really like the vanishing point in this photo, leading my eye off to the far right. Of course, the great color, focus, and touch of HDR helps it land in my favorites file as well. Thanks again, Lyn.

I like the details in the railing on this earlier bridge than the new replacement, but isn't that the way of "progress"?
