Ribblehead Viaduct light

The other side

****

Indeed a scene for which you have to stop to admire it for some time. Great picture series. We lived some years on Ribblesdale ave. in Congleton near the Peak District

very beautiful work!

Admirable...!

A tribute ti man's skills in turning a functional thing into a thing of beauty

Our Victorians were particularly good at that sort of thing -thank goodness and that was besides making things 'proper'.

Keep safe. Herb

wow !! un ouvrage spectaculaire et très bien pris !!

Thanks so much Dan.

Keep very safe. Herb

This is the side that is most impressive emphasising the curve. Great photo

It seems so Colin. I normally have always taken from the other side except when I was walking on the bottom ridge of Whernside. Glad you enjoyed it.

Iconic view, the tone you have captured and the crop work really well

A great image. I find myself wondering what a major project it must have been at the time,

A wonderful set of images and a fabulous viaduct Herb.

Very happy that you liked the lot Roger.

Keep safe. Herb

Very well composed Herb...........most photos I've seen of this viaduct have been taken from the side. I like the effect your viewpoint has on the columns and arches. The light is lovely and has brought out some lovely detail in the viaduct and the surrounding landscape. I really like the colour palette too.

More cracking shots in the PiPs......my fave is the first PiP, mainly for the light and colours inthe landscape.

Thanks Keith, as said to Colin above, I think this was the first holiday that i have taken the viaduct from this high side and angle. The light really made it for me though but the long lens shows the nice curve too. - The first PiP is a full photo just before this.

Keep safe. Herb

Impressive, Herb !

My thanks Ulrich.

Great pov Herb 99 out of 100 photograph the viaduct from the other side I like this side best nice job.
Regards TOZ

Thanks Toz. The first time I have got a real photo from this side, especially from this p.o.v. My last photo (the pip) as you say is the more tradition side that shows the full expanse. I think there are plus things to both views. - Glad you liked it.

Cheers. Herb

Fabulous addition to the group Herb
Thank you for posting

Thanks for this Roger.

A superb image Herb. In years to come no one will gaze in wonder at the total waste of money called HS2 dreamt up by people who obviously don't travel on trains, money that needs to be spent on more carriages for a start

Said with feeling Peter. i am sure you are right! Glad you liked this all the same.

Keep safe.

interesting construction & very attractive shot
stay healthy, Herb !

Nice to see you again Marek and very happy that you enjoyed this iconic scene.

Keep safe. Herb

Superb as ever, Herb! I read fascinating stuff about its construction somewhere..

Nice to see you again Andy and I do see that things are slowly normalizing over there in Spain. I have a book all about this route and yes, it makes good reading.

Keep safe. herb

A wonderful view and image Herb. Have watched a few railway programs on tv lately and this viaduct has featured several times.Certainly an iconic image.
Regards Peter

Nice to see you again Peter. One of our most famous rail routes with this viaduct being the star. I feel lucky that I have seen it so many times. Glad you liked it.

Keep safe. Herb

You caught it in a very special light.

Hello Eva. Always nice to see you here. So glad that you like the light I captured on this masterpiece of Victorian engineering.

Keep safe. Herb

it is a very special and impressive viaduct!

Indeed it is and many thanks for showing your appreciation Gabi.

Keep safe. Herb

You must have stood at this place for a long time …:-) Very nice landscape, Herb!

It´s a real pleasure to enlarge this photo Herb..the light on the stones...the different shades of brown and green and the PiPs...I enjoy it so much (until I´m able to see it on my own :)
Take care Herb :)

This shows the curve to perfection! The light is sublime in how it models the contours of the landscape.
