The Chinese Bridge (+PiP)

A shame the summerhouse was demolished, but thankfully the bridge was saved. It's a real beauty Keith. You show it well in your main picture....even better full screen!

I love the light and gorgeous mature trees in the PiP. It must me great to have this park near home!

Thanks Rosa............there was a fort on the island as well (with 9 guns apparently), but all that is left is a bit of a wall and a pile of stones. I have no idea why he might have needed that in his garden :-)).

Glad the bridge still survives though. I'd have liked to do a wider shot but there are two huge litter bins just to the right of the bridge........a really daft idea!

Glad you like this pair of shots..........and thanks for your kind comments. I probably don't visit here as much as I should, but now Jackie doesn't get around so well, I suspect we'll be visiting more often.

Re: The bins. It makes you wonder who plans these things doesn't it!!
I hope it's not a permanent thing for your wife Keith. All the best.

Arthritis I'm afraid..........she's waiting to see a consultant.........no idea how long the wait will be though!

Ich mag deine schöne Aufnahmen von dieser tollen Brücke lieber Keith,du hast sie in beiden Aufnahmen sehr schön ins Bild gebracht und toll,dass du aus verschiedenen Perspektiven sie gezeigt hast,das hast du wunderbar umgesetzt,dieses Sommerhaus würde ja noch das iTüpferle sein :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you so much Roséha.

Pretty little bridge, Keith!

Many thanks Diana..........glad you like it.

Eine wunderschöne Brücke, lieber Keith! Das Holzgeländer macht sich sehr gut! - Und wenn dann noch die Seerosen alle erblüht wären ... ;-)

Thanks very much Frank..........glad you like the bridge........and I agree it's a bit of shame that the water lilies weren't in flower, but there's nothing I could have done about that :-))

Lovely bridge, well captured Keith

Thank you Jaap...........glad you like it.

The water lily sea is particularly wonderful!
Splendid details and compositions too, Keith!
HWW also for you!

Thank you Judite.............glad you like it, even though the water lilies aren't all in flower!

Very beautiful with this carpet of water lilies.

Many thanks Jean-Paul............much appreciated.

A lovely bridge beautifully captured and with nice reflections Keith
I have to agree with others who have commented on the excellent composition and the water lilies, two more top images my friend!

Thank you so much Roger.........such kind and generous comments as always. Very much appreciated and I'm chuffed you like the images.

A fine bridge Keith and both views are good to me. It looks very peaceful and I suspect there are carp in here too. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers. Herb

Glad you like these two shots Herb...........it's peaceful as long as you avoid weekends and school holidays etc.......which as a retiree I can now do of course. There has to be some perks to being old :-))

You're right about the carp, there was a chap on the island fishing and he told me he had caught and released a couple of them, that morning.

Oh it's a gorgeous looking bridge Keith - I'd have loved to have seen the summer house when it was built.

I agree Jenny - the bridge is really lovely. I've no idea what the summer. house was like though, except that is was Chinese-themed.

Two lovely scenes! I love that lily pond!

Thanks very much Eunice..........much appreciated.

Really a lovely little bridge, Keith !

Thank you Ulrich.

Nicely fenced....

It is indeed..........not the original woodwork but exactly the same pattern as the original.

Eine wunderbare Brücke, in beiden Fotos sehr schön in Szene gesetzt. Beide Bilder wirken so ruhig und friedlich. Großartige Arbeit, Keith!
