Housatonic River Bridges

Derby, Connecticut, looking across the river to Shelton

Aah, black and white again - that of course triggers my attention ;)

You've captured wonderfully the aerial perspective here, the mist of the river creating an intensive sense of depth. But what I find very interesting (and supportive of the image impression) is the fact that the brightest area in the picture are the reflections in the river, not the sky itself. I like it very much that way.

Could have been shot 100 years ago, if it weren't for the 50's style buildings on the left across the river! Very nice.

I'm a sucker for bridges as well as black and white. But this photo is lovely in its own right. Nice!

Thanks Markus. I mostly "see in color" when using digital capture but this scene was clearly all about tone. The color of the brown winter grasses was just a distraction.

John, even the modern-looking buildings at the far left are actually re-facings of 100+ year old factory buildings that have been turned into condominiums.

Thanks, Ed. I think one of the fascinating things about bridges is the incredible variety of designs they can be built with.
