Decrepit Old Bridge Photo

Photographer’s Note

Somewhere in Bulgan Aimag or Province, on the way back from Lake Hovsgol, & after leaving the Great White Lake, but before reaching Orkhon Nuur (Lake). This was an afternoon tea stop. Yes, the Russian 4x4 tour vehicle, did drive over this rickety old bridge, which spans the Ider River. Notice the sagging dip, towards the back.

Hi Chris,
It must have been a hair raising ride ... I suppose it is part of the adventure. Makes me wonder how on earth this bridge able to stay that long and still holding ... credit to the builders. Good angle of shot with the bridge cutting across the image ... good POV. Well captured and composed. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Bonjour Chris,
Encore une photo-document très intéressante sur la Mongolie.
Ton POV permet d'inclure le pont en diagonale et de laisser voir le relief et le ciel en arrière-plan.
Elle me plait ta photo ;o)
Ciao mon Ami

Hello Chris,
je reconnais vraiment ton style et tes lumières dans cette photo. Une prise du pont judicieuse et bien choisie et cadrée. Dans les lumières justement, je trouve qu'il y a un rein trop de contrastes ce qui fait disparaitre les détails de la structure du pont.
Regards.
Daniel.

Hello Chris,

On se demande comment ce pont peut tenir... La composition est très belle, avec cette diagonale et le beau paysage tout autour.
Bonne journée
Marie
