Palladian bridge

[carregwen]

This is one of only four remaining Palladian bridges in the world. Shot at Prior Park, Bath, today. I used an inverted water reflection to get this abstract view of it. More info here shows the bridge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_P...ndscape_Garden

Very surreal and gripping image. Well done, Rob.

Thank you, chaps. The light was quite strong and contrasty, and I wanted a traditional shot, but it just wouldn't work, so I went for a reflection. Glad I did.

Nice one, Rob.
I like that - that shape, proportions and symmetry of these bridges somehow just seems "right" and has always appealled.
Sadly my only trip to Prior Park was in pouring rain....
Cheers, Chris.

Re: Palladian bridge

really nice shot Rob. To me it looks like an abstract watercolour in a style similar to a load of paintings which adorn my parents walls!

My only nit is the light reflecting off the water at the bottom / top (which ever side you want to call it!) - to me it looks like the 'painting' has been scratched and spoils it ever so slightly - though it is still a lovely image irrespective of that!
