Very impressive, Rosa. I have used the old Severn Bridge a few times... but not this one!...
Is there a toll?... Super photo, well framed.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to John Goodwin
There is a toll of £5.60 for cars at the moment, going into Wales and no charge coming back to England, but it is being scrapped completely at the end of this year. Thank you for your nice comments John.

Thank you very much Fabio. The bridge looks beautiful from a distance and then changes to this perspective on the approach, and the two visions are so different and fascinating.
All the best, Rosa.

This is a cracker Rosa. The perspective is spot on and the dark sky highlights the bridge perfectly.

I see what you mean about the colour of the sky when you were crossing the bridge, Rosa. Cheers, Joe

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Joe, Son of the Rock club
The weather got worse Joe! Very windy and the stray from the rain made for bad driving conditions. Then the next day was very bright with a blue sky, albeit rather windy! Cheers, Rosa.

Hi Rosa

You have done really well getting this picture, perfectly timed, and great light too!
I have been over it a few times, and never seen it looking as nice as this!!

Best Wishes

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Hi Peter,

Many thanks for your kind words. You know what it's like, you think you have a good picture on the back of the camera, but get home and it's not as good as you thought. Fortunately this one was, so I was very pleased! The other half dozen I took of the bridge were rubbish!

Best wishes, Rosa.

Since I traveled Wales in 1984, I can't have crossed this bridge but the old one! ;-)

excellent perspective and colours!

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Graf Geo club
Yes that would have been the old bridge. This bridge was finished in 1992. I like the old bridge!
Thankfully the weather improved but I was pleased to get this dark effect with this shot.
Thanks for your visit and kind comment.
