End - 365+1

I've been trying to take a photograph from the Clackmananshire Bridge since it was built, you get a great view of the Ochil Hills.  On Christmas Day as we drove up to visit my Mum, I was a passenger so could take some pictures.  The sky was blue the sun was out, but the photos were not that great, some had the wing mirror reflecting and the barriers were just at the height that they got in the way.
This photo was taken towards the end of the bridge, I've processed it in my new Lightroom software to give it an interesting tonal quality.  Love the little film strip which was a freebie designed by Laura Bavin which came with Papers and Pixels Digital Magazine.

Haphazard-Bridge-Stripes 365+1

Maya de Groot and some vintage images

I looked around for something haphazard and the mess of newspapers and books on the dining room table seemed to fit the bill!  I layered up digital papers and vintage images to create the same effect, then added a couple of 'tea' stains just for fun.

As I'm on catch up, I raided my photos to find a bridge.  Behind me is the famous Ponte Vecchio in Florence,  I can't believe it was 2009 and that we were there, it doesn't seem that long ago.

 This was an easy one for me.  I painted these stripes below the dado in my kitchen, hours of painstaking work with masking tape but I really like them.  I made a digital paper to match the stripes, something like that is really easy when you know how.

A bridge too far!

One of our fields has a little burn (stream) running through it. About 20 years ago we built a bridge across it, but over the years the railway sleepers had rotted away and it had collapsed.
The guy with the big digger (remember that?) has dug out the bankings and created a new bridge for us that should last at least another 20 years.

Here is Brian inspecting the pipes and moving a stone out of the way.

Better go and have a look down the other end.

Very happy with the new bridge!
