Blossom St. Bridge over the Congeree Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a second bridge within walking distance of the last one I posted from Riverwalk Park. The other bridge looks much older and much more ornate. The one here from Blossom St. looks to be simply utilitarian. The walkway from the beginning of the park ends about this point. From here you can see the end of the Broad and Saluda Rivers as they join to make the Congeree and form the rapids so pleasant to kayak and canoe enthusiasts. Hope you enjoy it.

Hi Shelly!
Its a nice point of view, with the mix of nature and concrete. You did a nice framing, well including the elements in the foreground.
Have a nice weekend!

Hello Shelly,

A good pov using the rocks for f/g interest.
Nice diagonal line created by the bridge for good composition, and with a hint of mystery as it is shrouded by trees.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Nice pov, and lovely scenery. Peaceful, a great place for a good book (or your camera of course :) TFS

Allô Shelly!
Magnifique paysage avec les feuilles qui sont déjà sorties chez-vous. Le bassin d'eau vu à travers les piliers du pont est magnifique et beau contraste de couleurs avec la verdure. Les roches en avant-plan participent à la beauté de la photo.
Félicitations!... et bonne fin de semaine,
Emilius

Hi, Shelly. A picture which shows that nature and man-made realisations can be close to each other and mix fairly well. You've chosen a good foreground with the rocks and the trees leaving a window onto the bridge. Good contrasts and colours.
Have a nice weekend,
Philippe
