A road bridge salutes a yacht!

A road bridge salutes a yacht!
All pedestrian and car traffic comes to a halt as this yacht sails into this small inner harbour. Enjoy the reflections here.

Seen in the pretty town of Honfleur, France.

A charming harbour scene captured at just the perfect moment with the raised bridge and the yacht in the centre of the harbour entrance. Beautiful reflections. Love the title. Hats off to you Herb - an excellent shot

Thank you so much Carol. I loved this soft reflection and the yacht entering was a bonus for me with the road bridge that I had just crossed being raised. - A town here that would have ruined us in the days of paying a fortune for film and developing. So gald you like the shot and title too, Herb

Hi Herb,

I really like the reflections here!
A great mix of colours too. All in all a superb composition.
Nice to see the traffic stops to allow the bridge to be lifted. We have a bridge like this in Lowestoft, and persuading the locals to stop is becoming a big problem!

Best Wishes

Hi Peter, I don't think they had much choice really as the alternative was a 10 minute walk anyway. In reality, I think the tourist here cherished a look of this yacht entering the inner harbour. I know that I did. Glad you liked this.
Cheers, Herb

Beautiful deep reflections Herb and a very nice shot. This is what happens to the town bridge in Weymouth at certain times of the day. Very interesting to watch!

Thanks Rosa, yes such things as the road suddenly moving upwards is always pretty jaw-dropping when you see that at first. I imagine after a few times it would become like the railway line barriers, just a chore to wait for.
