Small but tough Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another bridge Genoa. This one is called the Bridge Fontanella (small fountain). It is located at the foot of the dam Calacuccia. It resists despite its apparent fragility. In WS, I present to you the bridge and the dam. This bridge was 4 arches, it lacks one on the left of the picture, collapsed for lack of maintenance.
Rib, it must be sound because when the dam spillways opens in case of too-full, the power of water must be phenomenal, not its height.
I invite you to visit a personal blog of a fan of old stones that information when I am hiking shares:

I would gladly offer my shots because it is our heritage, however, station to the net cheats we take our pictures without permission.

Hello Marie,
your picture is good - like composition and quality, but I think it would be better in other light conditions. May be the weather has been cloudy or the picture is made in the late afternoon, but the light seems grey. Anyway, 2 points because of your very useful Photographer's Note!
Regards, Silvia

It is a pity this kind of old stone bridges to be abandoned! You found an interesting point to capture this masterpiece! I like both images, Marie!

Thank you for sharing.
Best wishes,
Athanasios.

Another great bridge photo Marie - there seem to be many in various stages of disrepair in Corse. Good colour and composition.
Regards
Ian

Bonjour Marie
ce pont à arches est de toute beauté dans ce paysage, il est étonnant de voir en WS la grandeur du barrage et je comprends la force que l'évacuation de l'eau peut avoir.
Amitiés
Jean-Pierre

Petit pont que je connais bien...et qui a eu droit à des injections de béton pour le renforcer sous la pression d'une association ..mais la force de l'eau ne lui a pas fait de cadeaux...l'eau n'est déversée qu'en crue, pour un hydraulicien c'est de l'or en barre...
