Hello John ,
What a lovely place for a pic nic ! The superb little stoned bridge is the strongest element of this idyllic composition . But i like a lot the rocky bed stream in the FG , and the red door as another focal point at right .
Regards

I love this photograph,it reminds me of my honeymoon which we spent in that area 38 years ago.Think the only thing that has changed is the colour of the paint on the shutters.Lovely shot John.

Hi John
I love this picture, probably because it could have been taken here in glorious Devon!The P.O.V.is great and the green colours so true.But the bridge is so perfect and with just a trickle of water it is so `Devon`( not so just at the moment,as everywhere is saturated with the heavy rains!)Love the stone built shed with the red door.
Best Wishes Gladys

Hi John, beautiful composition, I really like the old bridge and the small wild river, beautiful shades of green and red brings one point stands out clearly in the composition, great sharpness as usual, very pleasant place, have a nive day, valter

Hi John,
This is a very beautiful view, with a lush green surrounding and a tiny red spot on the little house too. I enjoy the Google view too although I get quite a different impression of both the surrounding landscape and the little house. There I see the typical bare hills, no trees at all along the impressive slopes. When you "drive" closer to the little house, you get an impression that the window shutter is yellow. But it might have been painted recently... Still a very beautiful picture and surrounding landscape.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hello John,
the first thing that caught my eye was the exceptional sharpness in this fine picture postcard shot,very impressive.
With the river winding nicely through the frame the composition works well,and of course that splash of red right where it matters.A proper job!
Jig saw manufacturers I`m sure would lap this up.
Have a nice week end,
Les.

Hi John.
One rarely sees a shot which combines elegant composition with such an abundance of detail; it has the look of an Engish scene which could have been conjured up in my mind in childhood while reading a certain kind of very English book, probably published in the first half or middle of the 20th century. Maybe 'The Thirty Nine Steps' or some such. The placement of the bridge and the touch of redon the hut's door are very effective. My only gripe would be that the sky is just a little pale, but in reality it is probably closer to how things were than most of our polarised skies here on TE. I absolutely loved the map ref, and did succeed in driving over the bridge! I've made a link to that and tried it out on a few places. You just don't get the ground level views for most rural Australian places. But who cares, I'm in Toulouse at the moment and having a break from the Summer heat.
Regards,
Andrew

Ciao Giovanni

These old stone bridges are just magnificent aren't they? Your photo looks like something right out of a fairytale, I'm imagining fairies jumping right out of that burn. The details of the bridge are beautifully captured, there must be something in the blood about bridge-building but I just find this fascinating. And you've positioned it perfectly within the frame to the left, with the burn leading the eye off to the right foreground. Good management of light conditions that do not look ideal too.

Thanks for sharing, enjoy your weekend
Lisa

hi john,
this is a fantastic scene depicting rural england. the bridge is perfectly placed, while the little tocuh of red form the stone building draws the viewers eye further into the picture. lovely colours.

brian

Hello John,
What an incredibly idyllic view, and what a perfect place you found for this shot. A very well balanced composition. The bare rocks along the stream start from the lower right corner, go up towards the left and turn right after the pretty bridge, which is balanced by the glimpse of the red cottage. Trees frame the composition very nicely on both sides. This is really beautiful.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello John,
Happy memories. Although this bridge is well photographed no two look the same. A lovely touch of red on the barn. Your POV was great - probably standing on a boulder? A very typical Lake District scene but because we were early no tourists in view!
Best wishes, Ann

Hello John

Lovely Lakeland picture. A soft, even romantic colour palette, in which that bit of red paint really stands out. Good framing too, though I wonder if the bridge might have been moved just a bit more away from the edge of the frame.

Maybe I ought to make it a new year's resolution to visit the lakes again some time this year. It's been a long time since I was up there.

Best wishes to you and yours.

Benny

Hi John,
emka has showed me her photo of Ashness Bridge and I was curious to follow your gallery to see if you have a picture of it as well...
You have selected the opposite POV. Beautiful composition. I feel Like I need to return to this place one more time, maybe I will take my family there for a day trip.
Lovely off centre composition, pleasant sky in this direction.
5 years ago I have lived in Ireland at that time.
Excellent work,
M
