Is it me or are the weeks just flying right on by? I know they tend to do that this time of the year but it seems to me that as soon as I've posted an entry for Roger's Creative Photography Contest that it's time to post another! Oh well, it's a good excuse to try to get out and take some pictures from time to time and I've got to say that there are some truly great photos in the contest every week and it's a real pleasure to not only enter a photo of my own but to see what everyone else has posted, too.
This week's picture comes courtesy of my photo-hunting trip around parts of Norwich last Monday when I was experimenting with the new D60 a little bit. This is a shot of the railroad bridge over the Yantic River between the upper and lower falls that is still in use today though I've never been lucky enough to have a train go by while I was out there. Maybe one of these days? Though I'd rather not be standing where I was when I took this picture if one comes along!
Now make tracks over to check out some of the other entries at the Creative Photography Contest #15 Week 4 - I'm sure you'll see something you just love!
Cool... I just noticed the date. 30 days till christmas... eeeeekkkkkk
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I see a light at the end of the tunnel :o)
ReplyDeleteI really like that one. I like trains.
ReplyDeleteI loved the way you left the scene at the end of the bridge in color.
Nice.
ReplyDeleteI love this....one saying I use at work is...
ReplyDelete"I thought there was a light at the end of the tunnel...but it was really just another flaming hoop to jump through..."
this photo is the closest image I have ever seen
Now THIS picture ROCKS. Every time I think you've done your best, you come up with more. You're amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use of selective color. Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo, Miss Linda! Say, who is that handsome fella on your EntreCard today?
ReplyDeleteThis is a cool perspective on the railroad bridge. We have one of these trestles near here but I didn't photograph it up close like this.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Duchess Linda.
good luck in Roger's contest!
Not only a great shot, but a terrific presentation. Love the OZ effect!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot.
ReplyDeletetry cranking up the levels on the black and white.
ReplyDeleteWow Linda, this is an amazing shot. I hope you win. Just saying. Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)
ReplyDeleteI could imagine the train coming from behind while setting up that picture!
ReplyDeleteExcellent shot.
Love the symmetry and perspective.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, there is light at the end of the....BRIDGE? A look of expansiveness, not to infinity, but the tapered views of each side of the bridge draw your eyes to the destination - that is what you see alone. It offers a feeling of motion without moving at all. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteI can't help feeling that a train will soon come through! A beautifully edited shot with great perspective and lines.
ReplyDeleteYou outdid yourself, Linda! (Do you say so, too? I know it's a typical saying in Germany, but I'm not sure about the US).
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you're having so much fun with the D60 - and I'm glad there's water to jump into just in case the train comes along :-)
Good luck, Linda!
Beautiful job Linda! I like the selection invert greyscale awesome! Happy Thanksgiving to you to :D
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the composition.
I really like shots with repetition.
This so reminds me of "Stand By Me," where the boys are walking on the train tracks...
ReplyDeleteLinda, you continue to amaze me with your fantastic photos!
~~~Blessings~~~
Wonderful photo! I like the little framed picture at the far end too,
