Another photo from my recent visit to The Lake District of North West England.
By the way, for all you those of you out there of Scandinavian ancestry, the word Watendlath apparantly derives from the Old Norse 'vatn-endi-hlaoa', meaning water-end barn.

@Ian Smith: Thanks Ian,
Yes, I love the colours in the lake District, even on a windy and cold Winter's day like this one.....it's the kind of place that makes you glad to be alive!
It's such a marvelous view, and the colors are those of earth and sky. Very well composed so that the image hangs together as a unit rather than as discrete sections welded together. Beautiful.

@GJC: Hi GJC,
It's the natural colours that are part of the attraction for me in this part of the world......the structures and buildings are all built of local stone and so have a really natural connection to the landscape.
The location is so inspiring...no wonder that your shot attracts immediately the viewer inside it! The texture of the brigde is remarkable and the whole atmosphere so inviting.

@Japanalia: Hi Gabriela!.....indeed it is a very inspiring place. The bridge seems to spring naturally from the landscape doesn't it!
Beautiful Ian!!

@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Thanks very much Alfredo!
That is a sweet shot of a stunning bridge.

Great image. I likr the way you've framed it so the river and the sky conspire to make the bridge the focal point.

How did I miss this Epic photo, it's brilliant, absolutely brilliant...you can't do better than this Ian, this is beyond ....beyond any compliments I have! I'm not going to give it a 5 star 'cause it would not do it justice!

I like the composition and the weathered look of the bridge.

Excellent composition, I like the way the bridge carries on eyesight onto background.
