It's a very wonderful picture, Livia, the place is really scenic. Splendid frame, great colours, especially the contrast between the red rocks and the blue cloudy sky.
Thanks for showing.

Amazing light and colours you've caught there ! YOu've managed to give us the feeling of greatness of this place because of folks walking on the left bridge. The probably late afternoon light renders very nice shades on the rocks. Very beautiful picture !

Livia -

Just wanted add my 2-cents to your wonderful image but everything I wanted to say has been said. I remember crossing these two bridges several years ago when my wife and I were returning from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. This is an excellent capture of the mood of the landscape. I have always found that the red rocks of Navajo Country can be very moody when the conditions are right.

Excellent image - thanks for sharing

Hello Livia. Fantastic view with the two bridges crossing the canyon, and sort of pointing towards the deep red stone formations in the back. The clouds indeed add a lot to the mood, and the bridge shadow created from the sidelight is another bonus. Very nice shot.

Bonjour Livia,
tpujours de la démesure chez nos amis amériains. Mais vu le paysage et le relief, il faut bien leur accorder que c'est nécessaire.
Des couleurs rouges orangées et ocres buien agréables. Les nuages qui projettent ces ombres, un détail en plus interessant.
Je suis impressionné.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hi Livia - wonderful image, the red colour against the stormy sky looks incredible. Please note that this is in the state of Arizona, near Page, and not Utah. You can make the correction using the edit function on your "Manage" page. Thanks for sharing.

Serwus Livia !
Superb view!
Very attractive colours, especially red tones in contrast with metallic grey. People on the bridge add scale to You image, good idea.
Nice composition!
All the best,
Mat

Hey Livia, this is a very good shot! I like our differing angles of the two bridges. i also see what I think looks like a red london double decker bus too! But its probably a truck?

The colours here are great and I can see why you miss this type of landscape!

Great shot well done!

Hi Livia,
I have seen some of your posts, you have a good book, and this is one of which it has caught my attention, mainly by its colours (blue sky contrasting with this red-brown canyon). The sharpness is very good, and I like to see people walking over the bridge, to appreciate better its dimensions. The clouds coming are also wellcome!
Best regards from Barcelona.

Les couleurs sont belles et les ponts originaux.

Je ne suis pas fan du cadrage mais c'est pas mal

rabani (9463) 2005-09-28 3:17

With multiple layers on the rockfaces, with low contrasting light on a cloudy sky, you have an interesting shot here. Especially giving the impression as if you were between these two bridges.

I love brigdes, so I had to comment this one also :)
I wish you made a panoramic pic showing wider angle to show both bridges fully.

the thing that really strikes me, is the sky!
beautyfull blue sky (symbol of sunny and hot weather) with dark gale/stormy clouds...
that is great contrast :-)

best regards
Adam

I really like the combination of bridge, rock, and sky in this photo.

The colours presented are stunning. As well as the work with the shadows. TFS
