Bridge to the Mill, a photo from Gloucestershire, England

Photographer's Note

Good Morning Everyone,

AS promised, I will mix my TE posts between London and my trip to Oxfordshire.

My post today is from Lower Slaughter in the Cotswolds and shows the tiny, little bridge which leads over the River Eye towards the old mill.

The old mill was first recorded in The Domesday Book of 1086 and has existed in different capacities from then until the present day, when it is a craft shop and tea room.

As you can see, with the old houses and easy access, it is a destination site for many who visit the Cotswolds.

Have a lovely day, Bev :-)

Hello Beverley,
Another wonderful picture from that beautiful day. The composition is excellent, well balanced between the charming houses at right and the calm water and the bridge at left. The people are well-included and add a lovely and peaceful mood.

Hello Bev,
This is yet another photo that shows your good eyes for compositions. You used the many diagonals very well, and although the three persons were not told by you where to go, you knew how to take the photo when they were in the best positions on opposite sides of the bridge. The diagonals give the composition structure and the persons give it further balance. It is also a perfectly exposed and sharp photo.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Bev,

Another fine photograph of this delightful village which I should love to explore! And another fine composition too with the edge of the road making a strong foreground diagonal following the line of the river with its rustic bridge. And that rather curious mill with its tall chimney is perfectly placed in the frame too. (I understand that this was originally a watermill but was later given a chimney to allow it to be provided with steam power.)

Again, lovely soft light, natural colours and exquisite details and clarity.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Bonjour Bev,

Une image comme je les aime. Tu as su choisir un très bon point de vue.Le petit pont est beau mais la maison est encore plus belle en arrière plan. Le ciel est beau et trois personnes animent la scène.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Bev,

What a lovely place, real idyllic with the old small stone bridge in foreground.
Pleasant panoramic view, we are almost back to the middle of previous century.
Excellent photographed with a fantastic clarity.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hello Beverley, a beautiful picture postcard from the Cotswolds.
The inevitable yellow lines on the road but not detrimental to your composition at all.
The people enliven the scene and are perfectly placed.
I like the water wheel next to the mill.
Excellent sharpness. You were so lucky with the weather!
Regards Jean.

Hello Beverley
A well composed photograph of the peaceful countryside. The balance between the different elements of the picture is perfect and also the three people have taken excellent positions in the frame. The colours, exposure and sharpness are perfect.
Cheers!

Hello Beverley,
The small bridge looks very nice but seems a bit rickety. Presumably it is only used by pedestrians and cyclists.
Attractive natural colours of a beautiful sunny day whereby the pond reflects the sky and the tree very well.
Excellent composition and of course very charming houses.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Beverley,
Nice picture from country side. The stones are main material to built these structures and surrounding including the bridge. Perfect relaxing place to escape crowdy and busy London.
Well done in great quality photo.
Best regards,
Zbigniew

Hi Bev
as a lover of bridges, I had to take a look at this one.
It won't go down as the largest bridge in the world haha, but it certainly is interesting. First of all, i LOVE the name Lower Slaughter. I want to move here just so I can say I live here hahaha. what a great day for taking photos, the light is perfect. so is the exposure and sharpness, its pin sharp.
I wonder how old that little bridge is too, is it also from around 1086? who knows? fun shot, well taken on this side angle. cheers
Craig
