Really stunning clarity and such wondrous greens and blues! Beautiful angle on the three arches! What a great bridge - what a wonderful capture! Fantastic stonework captured in crisp color and detail and wonderful reflection. A tree off the right edge appears in shimmered reflection. The stone arches reflect into tunneled discs with the mirror of water, interspersed by stones breaking the surface. In places, sunlight and shadow conspire to show ghosts of the river or pike bed almost invisible beneath the reflection of stone arch and sky and world above. A moment from history over 200 years ago and magical today.
