This is the third photo in a mini-series of 5 shots that I took a few days ago in and around the ship building town of Barrow-In-Furness which is located on the NW coast of England on the opposite side of the bay from Morecambe.
For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to MY NEW WEBSITE where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.

Links to the websites of other photographers whose work I love and who have all helped me enormously over a long period of time. I find the work of all 3 to be inspirational.

Fabulous series! I really loved the last one, but they are all beautifully executed photos.

Agree with Paulski above, though I find that intersection somewhat scary... I can perfectly tell what this is, all the more so with your caption, and yet I cannot help but thinking of a sunken bridge... There's something apocalyptic (or otherworldly, or catastrophic maybe) in the atmosphere of this photo.
Simply masterful.

@Guillermina: I'm not sure what to say really other than to thank you for leaving such lovely comments about the photo - I believe that atmosphere, emotion and a sense of our humanity are all that anyone of us can hope to convey in our photos and I'm so pleased that you found some of those qualities here.
I do try and portray my feelings in my photos but its not an easy thing to do is it.
@yiannis krikis: Thanks Yiannis!

Excellent composition, I like the angle of the ramp. Great colors.
