Good morning Rosalyn a lovely scene for a hot day, it was certainly built to last, is there a weight restriction to help preserve it. I hope you something reasonably cool to keep you occupied enjoy your day

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Peter Castell ^club

Hello Peter, I didn't notice any large vehicles going over the bridge, but it was fairly busy.
The only way to keep cool today is stay indoors! I hope you are keeping cool too!

Lovely framing of this wonderful 'new' bridge Rosa. Like the sunlit water lilies providing a nice contrast with the darker background of the shaded areas.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Günter Klaus ^club

Thank you for your kind words Gunter. It was the grasses swaying in the light breeze that attracted me to taking the picture. I wasn't sure about uploading it as only a small part of the bridge is showing.

Good evening and best wishes, Rosa.

Nicely composed Rosa...........I like the way you've framed the bridge amongst all the lush greenery. The light is lovely and the bridge looks to be in good condition considering it's age!

Beautifully captured.

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thank you very much Keith. It was the lush grasses that attracted me , as they were gently swaying in the light breeze, initially. I wish we had that light breeze right now!!!

Have a nice evening and keep cool!

A pretty bridge in a remarkable aquatic setting!
The English "jungle" still has so much charm!!!!!!!
A very nice photo****

Rosalyn Hilborne ^club has replied to Nouchetdu38 ^club

Thank you for your very kind comments Nouchet.
The English jungle is more like straw now, due to
the hot weather and no rain. Where is the rain when
you need it!? Have a nice evening.

With "that" name i believe a lot of us think of . . .
But that image is beautiful enough by itself.
I like the colour contrast because it goes so well...

Beautifully framed and very well captured, Rosa, fine looking arches that show the skills of masons, a trade that is often overlooked by history

I think some of our American friends wouldn't understand the concept of 'new' pertaining to an eighteenth century bridge! A lovely shot!
