Clachan Bridge & Pip

Otherwise known as The Bridge Over The Atlantic and shown at low tide, Built in 1792, its graceful arch crosses the Sound of Seil and onto Seil Island.
Going by the slight change in stone colour the walls that protect the road may have been raised at some time,

On black please.

Very nice indeed Roger...........I really like the old bridge and the surrounding trees and sky. The foreground, which could have been really boring at low tide, has instead been transformed by the wonderful reflections of the bridge, river banks and sky in what remains of the water.

Very cleverly composed and taken.

The detail in the PiP is fantastic.

Thank you for the very generous comments Keith which are as always very much appreciated.
I have tried the shot many times over the years but it only really works at low tide on a bright day and for once conditions were petty good.

Janet Brien ^club

What a lovely, yes, as you say, very graceful bridge indeed. Low tide makes it very interesting to think about, and the textures in the foreground contrasting with the lovely blue sky reflecting in the water are super to look at too. Great presentation, along with your inset. I agree, viewed at large shows off the special qualities of this image.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Janet Brien ^club

Thank you Janet, for the first time in many attempts tide conditions, light and lack of breeze were just right to catch the reflected circle, I did intend to post this a while back but a similar image had appeared on IP so leaving it a while became a good idea.
