My dear Peter,

The Postbridge Clapper Bridge looks so beautiful in this composition! Interesting architecture!
Nice soft colours and the gentleman with his red jacket makes a nice contrast.
It is a very nice picture and good information!
Happy Monday!

Love Füsun

I spent a very long time by this bridge trying many different things. I wanted the waterfall on the right to balance the composition, so I am pleased you noticed!!
Best Wishes, a good week ahead, and keep safe!!

The autumnal colours make the bridge look even mir attractive than usual, well done! When I visited we had very bright but grey skies, not good for photos....

Hi Gudrun ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
Glad you like it.
I was here a long time, and tried many things, so i am happy that you like my final choice. Unfortunately I was here only once, so I had to make the best of what was there.
Best Wishes, a good week ahead, and keep safe!!
