Le spectacle des gorges de l'Hérault - HFF

Le spectacle des gorges de l'Hérault - HFF
Photo depuis le vieux pont roman accroché aux berges abruptes appelé "Pont du Diable". Avec 1000 ans d'histoire, il est considéré comme l'un des plus vieux ponts médiévaux français. Au premier plan le nouveau pont pour la circulation; et le "pont" que l'on voit ici au fond est en fait le canal de Gignac qui traverse l'Hérault et la route.

Photo taken since the old "Devil's Bridge", an old Roman bridge hanging on the steep banks. With 1000 years of history, it is considered as one of the oldest French medieval bridges. In the foreground the new bridge for traffic; the "bridge" seen in the background is actually the Gignac Canal that crosses the Hérault river and the road.

Impressive and elegant structures, the original one is amazing that they could build it with the tools available, the fact it has lasted so long shows the workmanship and skill that went into it

Yeu est vraiment une belle île. Et je constate que ton fils de Tahiti est vraiment un grand voyageur : l'Islande, cela a dû être superbe.

A beautiful new bridge that mirrors the shape of the much older one really nicely Christa. I like having both bridges in the shot and your composition is lovely. I like the glass like surface of the water below and the colours in the rock. HFF and have a good weekend

Thanks Carol, in this sight there is actually much matter, between the bridges, the rocks, the mountains in the background, the green-looking water. I was happy having taken this shot. Have a great week.
