Below the Bridge/ Watery Wednesday

Harrison Creek, under one of several two-lane bridges that cross it

The sunshine, shadows, reflections, subtle colours and the fact that the ice has melted convinced me to take this photo.

    I wonder if the whole bridge is made of wood ?
    In this case, I imagine hearing cars going over it, their wheels on the planks.
    Many textures on your picture.

    I like all the different shades of colors provided by the sun or lack of sun in areas. Interesting!

    Great photo, EG.. The reflections and colors are great.. Would be good in monochrome.

    Hugs,

    I wonder if the whole bridge is wooden too!

    The bridge is not totally wooden, just underneath. Above there's metal and concrete. I'll post another photo at another time to show you. ;-)

    Cool! Were you standing right up under the bridge when you took this?

    No ice on your the river. Here in Finland is now fifteen degrees cold. But perhaps people here like it. ;-)

    It looks surprisingly cosy under that bridge. The textures are great - I agree, it would also be good for monochrome.

    I shudder to think where the photographer has been herself to get this wonderful shot. You have done it again. Made something quite mundane in to a piece of art.

    This is by far the best I have seen this week. It's a credit to your imagination to see it would make a great photo.

    The colors and textures in this image - especially the reflections on the water's surface - would make it a good candidate for a gazillion-piece jigsaw puzzle.

    I like the way there are different textures to the water, and what they do for the reflections!! And the fact that the sunlight burned out the brown grass! The brown grass makes me think of the lawns that need to be raked!

    I like the reflections, and I want to imagine that it is an old wooden bridge.:)
