The Causey Arch is a bridge near Stanley in County Durham. It is the world’s oldest surviving railway bridge. It was built in 1725-26 by stonemason Ralph Wood, funded by a conglomeration of coal-owners known as the "'Grand Allies'" (founded by Colonel Liddell and the Hon. Charles Montague) at a cost of £12,000. Two tracks crossed the Arch: one (the main way) to take coal to the River Tyne, and the other (the bye way) for the returning the empty wagons. Over nine hundred horse-drawn wagons crossed the arch each day using the Tanfield Railway.

Always remember - Follow the Yellow Brick Road, it will lead you to OZ and the Emerald City. A very nice place to live. Trust me on this one, I live there. The Lion **** MY CAEDES GALLERY****Another Site I'm AT - MY DA HOME PAGE
Fantastic capture and love the way you have 2 different styles of bridges. That old railroad bridge is really a beautiful piece of work from many years ago. Such wonderful colours and composition and have to agree with the gentle lion, it would be a gorgeous oil painting. Bravo on this posting

I believe the Honorable Charles Montague was one of those who lived in the boarding house run by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
Yes, so lush and beautiful! Well composed and crystal clear, with wonderful lighting.

Full wagons the high way and the empties the low way! Very nice view of both bridges Richie. All the green and the little flowers add to the beauty of the scene.

"I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more." -
Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)
I like the contrasts presented by the two bridges and what they were to mankind (women too). They are on parallel journeys across the land, but serve such clearly divergent purposes. One a metaphor of the other.

What a feast for the eyes... all that detail. I especially like the way you positioned yourself to capture both bridges at a diagonal, one above the other, showing their different character, construction, and relationship to the foliage, one above it and the other encapsulated by it.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
The angle you shot these two was great. I like the way it takes your eyes from left to right to view them both and take in all the details.
