HFF- Bridge to the light

HFF-  Bridge to the light
As the winter cold continues, here is a capture from a day or so back, again along my old school walk valley. A very cold morning of about minus three degrees. The footbridge over the River Medlock here was until a year or so back over from where that stone block is but it was replaced and moved after it became dangerous. This river was for almost a hundred years one of our most polluted in the area having out spill from many old mills, factories, refuse tips and sewers along its route. Fortunately now it is far cleaner. Last year for the first time in my life I even saw large fish in here (Perch ?).

Enjoy full screen

Have a good weekend.

This is a really lovely scene Herb...............the backlighting is gorgeous and I love the little sunburst through the trees. The misty background and the frost covered grass are also beautiful.

I also really like the dark trunk and branches of that tree overhanging the river which forms a wonderful natural archway. An excellent composition and capture.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanks so much Keith and apologies for late reply here after a snap visit to York minus camera this weekend! A magical valley at best an old tip pig farm at worse from many years back. I do like these scenes with the mist rising from the water in the sun. My pleasure to share.

Have a wonderful week. Herb
